LRNG is a digital badging platform and community that creates a unique badging experience focused on both connected learning and resource sharing among cities and organizations
LRNG originated out of the Cities of Learning initiative started in Chicago in 2012 by the MacArthur Foundation. In 2015, the MacArthur Foundation provided funding to develop a non-profit to manage the Cities of Learning initiative and grow it across the country. Cities of Learning was then rebranded as LRNG.
In 2016, Digital On-Ramps received an award from LRNG to start LRNG Philly as part of their original pilot program.
