Kansas City Women in Technology (KCWiT) is a grassroots organization dedicated to increasing the representation of women in technology careers in Kansas City. Our mission is to inspire and empower girls and women to pursue technology careers through educational workshops, mentoring opportunities, and networking events. To address the gender gap in technology, KCWiT provides educational workshops and camps for young girls, introducing them to the world of technology and building their confidence to pursue careers in this field.

We collaborate with Kansas City school districts to tailor curriculum to match industry requirements, ensuring that girls are equipped with the necessary skills for success. Additionally, we offer mentoring programs for high school and college girls who are considering technology career paths. We recognize the lack of mentors in fields such as computer science, robotics, and web development, and aim to provide support and guidance to aspiring women in these areas.

Furthermore, our networking events and volunteer opportunities create a supportive community for current professionals. We understand the importance of retaining women in the technology industry and provide avenues for skill development, relationship-building, and mentoring, fostering a sense of belonging and empowerment. Led by a board of women who are actively involved in the industry, KCWiT is committed to providing resources, tools, and opportunities for women in technology to thrive and succeed.

Join us in our mission to shape the future of women in tech and make a meaningful impact in the Kansas City community
