About us
WeCode KC is an initiative that serves the urban core of Kansas City, exposing technology, cyber security, and computer science concepts to underrepresented youth, girls and women. Learning the basic concept of coding develops creativity, problem solving skills, builds confidence, and helps to build a positive future. Every child, no matter their zip code or their family’s financial status, should have the opportunity to learn to code.

We did it! WeCode KC came together with volunteers from SEEDFOLK CITY FARM INC Partners (Veronica Alvidrez), Burns & McDonnell (@Laron Evans, Kisa Caruthers, PE Caruthers); InnovateHER KC founder (@Lauren Conaway), awesome WeCode parent volunteer, (@D’Onica Hodgkin Lovelace), and many community supporters to raise $5,000 in 2 hours at the WeCodeKC Power Happy Hour Casual Animal Brewing Co! Proceeds will support fall coding classes for underserved youth in the Kansas City area. Thank you to everyone who showed up, we could not have done this without you, KC!!! The need in our community is great, our young people are lagging in reading, math and science AND need alternatives to violence. Stay tuned…we have more money to raise and new events coming up!
