In response to the Coronavirus COVID-19, we understand that improperly prepared educational institutions can put students at risk. We take cleanliness and illness prevention seriously, and as such, WeCode KC will be taking the following precautions following the recommendations of physicians and the CDC.

Our regular daily cleanliness and disinfecting procedures will continue as normal:

  • Shared surfaces disinfected daily (keyboards, mouse, tabletops, doorknobs, etc)
  • Hand sanitizer readily available and encouraged to kids regularly throughout the day
  • Daily sweep, mop, and cleaning of all surfaces
  • Educating and reminding students about the best ways to prevent the spread of germs
  • Washing hands regularly
  • Sneezing and coughing into the crook of their elbow
  • Minimizing touching of face, mouth, and eyes

Students have the option to wear a mask during group collaborative time, transition time, and any time they are within 6ft of another student. Masks are optional in outside spaces and while seated, socially distanced from all other students.

Require that all students wash hands and/or use hand sanitizer upon entering the building.

Minimize activities in which students must closely interact.

Minimize activities in which students must share objects.

Notify parents and request immediate pickup for students showing symptoms: fever, cough, shortness of breath.

If you have any questions, please contact us at 816.434.0551

Please be respectful to the leaders, mentors, and volunteers. They donate their time and energy on a volunteer basis to make this program possible.

Organized by

WECODE KC is an initiative that serves the urban core of Kansas City focusing on exposing technology, cyber security, and computer science concepts to area youth. 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.
