Our Story
Founded in 2013 by Antonio Kioko and Dave Kessler, Tech Journey is dedicated to inspiring students with limited resources to pursue careers in technology. The organization emerged from a shared vision to engage underprivileged youth in Des Moines, providing them with the tools and opportunities to see technology as a viable career path.
Our Impact
Through the annual Tech Camp program, Tech Journey has reached over 130 students in grades 8-12, equipping each participant with a new laptop, Google account, and access to local professionals who serve as mentors. Programs like YouthCode and CoderDojoDSM further extend this impact by introducing younger students to coding and robotics, creating a pipeline for future tech talent.
