SEATTLE, WA, USA, February 22, 2023 /EINPresswire.com/ -- iUrban Teen will expand to Houston, Texas, the fourth largest city in the United States, in 2023. This expansion will afford Houston Metro area teens of color a wider range of unique opportunities in STEM and Arts enrichment.— Deena Pierott, Founder of iUrban Teen
A hallmark of this expansion is a unique partnership with SEISMIQUE, a new experiential art museum located in West Houston’s Village at West Oaks. Exhibits include artificial intelligence, immersive experiences, gamification, and dazzling displays of light, color, sound, and natural elements. With over 40 unique “galaxies” (galleries) spanning 40,000 square feet, the museum transports visitors of all ages to unseen universes of creative inspiration and artistic manifestation.
More than an immersive art museum, SEISMIQUE offers educational workshops that will serve students from local schools across Greater Houston. Deena Pierott, founder of iUrban Teen, is particularly excited about this partnership and the upcoming event on March 25 and what it will offer area youth. “We had a very successful event in Houston years ago and I’m excited how SEISMIQUE and community support is bringing us back”.
