SUMMARY:Brothers Code 2025 (Chicago)
DESCRIPTION:Introducing Youth and Adults of Color to Tech\nTechnology is everywhere today\, but only a tiny fraction of students are learning how to create technology. Brothers Code is part of the larger movement to introduce youth to tech as part of National Computer Science Education Week. \nThe Hidden Genius Project invites young people of color in middle and high school to join the 13th Annual Brothers Code event\, Saturday\, December 13\, 2025\, located at Kennedy King College\, 740 W. 63rd Street U Bldg.\, Chicago\, IL 60621. \nThis event is meant to expose young people to skills and networks that can guide them to exciting opportunities within the tech sector. \nAt this event\, youth participants will: \n\nPlay with technology while practicing coding and programming skills\nExplore the vast range of career opportunities within the tech sector\nLearn about the various opportunity pathways that can lead to participation in the tech sector\nInvestigate the various ways they can leverage technology to strengthen their communities and reach their goals\nNetwork with enthusiastic tech sector professionals from a range of backgrounds\n\nWe will also host a concurrent program for adults! We invite parents/guardians\, teachers\, administrators\, counselors\, champions\, and any other interested adults to register to participate in their own simultaneous program. The adult sessions will help student advocates learn how they might support young people to pursue technology pathways (and participants will get to practice some of the technical skills as well!). \nThere will also be a session for adult stakeholders to discuss how they might actively support youth entrepreneurs to leverage their skills and ideas to build out their own ventures. \n  \nVolunteers\nWe will need general\, non-technical volunteers to help with event set-up\, people movement\, food set-up and distribution\, registration\, and basic support of the program participants. We also need volunteers to support implementation of the youth and adult program sessions\, which include technical skills activities\, entrepreneurship projects\, and exploration of career pathways. \nInterested in volunteering? Sign up HERE. \n  \nAdditional Details\n*Breakfast and Lunch will be served \nWHO: Young people of color in middle and high school; and adults interested in learning more about how to support young people’s development in tech. \nWHEN: Saturday\, December 13\, 2025\, from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM (LOCAL TIME) \nWHERE: Kennedy King College\, 740 W. 63rd Street U Bldg.\, Chicago\, IL 60621 \nRegistration and breakfast begins at 8:00am; programming begins at 9:00am until 2:00pm \nPresented by The Hidden Genius Project\, in partnership with the Kapor Center.
