Techstronaut's WeCode Saturday Coding Club

WeCode KC’s Techstronauts Coding Club is a program that introduces Kansas City area students to technology concepts and various software languages. Our classes feature Block-based coding using Scratch, Data Analysis using Python, Robotics, Website Design & Development and more. Our classes often change based on the availability of our highly skilled instructors.

Our instructor-led classes give students a hands-on approach to software development, project-based learning, leadership and team-building skill development in preparation for a career in the field of technology.

These classes are designed to be hands-on workshops, that focus on teaching beginner, intermediate, and advanced student’s technology concepts that are required for a future career in the tech industry. Since our classes are project-based, students are strongly encouraged to attend on a consistent basis to ensure all projects are completed. Additionally, parents/guardians may be required to create their students’ accounts on the free applications that’s used by their individual class which allows parents/guardians full access to their students’ projects in every phase of development.

WeCode KC’s classes will focus on creating projects using the following application or programming language:

Scratch will be used for video game development and is geared toward students aged 7 – 11years old.

Data Analysis & Visualization projects using Python are geared toward students 12-17. Additionally, this class is also a pre-requisite for students who wish to be part of the robotics team.

JOIN US EACH 1st & 3rd SATURDAY OF EACH MONTH FOR THE PYTHON AND SCRATCH CLASSES!

Please sign your student up for ONE (1) class ONLY.
