  • REGISTER for the Info Session on Wednesday, September 16th – 5 pm EDT

iEARN projects are designed to be curriculum based, flexible, and can be integrated into all subjects areas. In addition, all iEARN projects are aligned with one or more of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals, so students are engaging in meaningful conversations with their peers around the world, through project-based learning, and virtual/online discussions.

Through participating in iEARN-USA’s programming, students develop openness and respect towards people from other cultures and perspectives; take collaborative action to make meaningful contributions to their local and global communities; and develop other critical 21st century skills, including communication, collaboration, critical thinking and problem solving, that will support their success in their educational and career paths.
