Coding academy for underrepresented youth finds home at WMU.
KALAMAZOO, Mich.—A Kalamazoo couple have pooled their combined professional experiences and skills to form a nonprofit organization that teaches computer coding, programming, and other areas of technology to underrepresented youth in the Kalamazoo area. After about a dozen years of hosting classes around the area, the Milo Coding Academy began holding classes and club meetings at Western Michigan University’s College of Engineering and Applied Sciences.

Milo Coding Academy strives to introduce underrepresented students to the world of technology through events, workshops, mentorships, and coding courses, while putting them on the path to programming and computer science careers.
Once kids care about coding, it’s another challenge to keep them interested. Stereotypes make this tricky, said VidCode cofounder Alexandra Diracles. Girls typically lose interest in math and science during middle school, and only a fifth of programmers are female. Silicon Valley companies released data showing that in 2013 only 2 percent of their tech workers were black and 3 percent were Hispan

We have been teaching coding in the Kalamazoo, Southwest Michigan area for over 15 years, partnering with community organizations and Western Michigan University.
A HUGE thank you to Dr. Steve Carr. We appreciate everything you do and have done to get our program for underrepresented kids in the technology field to be part of the WMU computer science department with our classes and coding club.
