Tech Journey

Room 1170 & 1171

Tech Joiurney's mission is to inspire youth to increase their knowledge and interest in technology by providing engaging learning opportunities led by technology professionals.

Tech Camp
Tech Camp is an immersive annual summer camp experience for students in grades 8 through 12. A cohort of 8th-grade students are identified with consideration given to socioeconomic status, gender, and ethnicity. The new cohort, as well as the previous four cohorts, are invited each year to attend the one-week summer camp.

YouthCode
Through our YouthCode program, students in elementary and middle school are introduced to the basics of coding and robotics. The delivery of workshops, instructional classes, camps, and ad-hoc events enable Tech Journey to impact and engage with students before 8th grade, serving as an on-ramp to Tech Camp.

CoderDojo Des Moines
CoderDojoDSM is a program intended for ongoing mentoring of Tech Camp students beyond the one week of summer and for YouthCode students beyond its various activities. CoderDojos are a global movement of community-based coding meetups where students visit a Dojo to hone their skills in a less-structured, creative and social environment.
