CEO & Founder
Kids Code Jeunesse

“The next decade is a critical one for our planet and its people, and we will only be able to build a fair and just future if we equip all citizens with the skills they need to thrive in a digital world.”

Kate’s mission:

Mobilising governments & industries to accelerate & advance digital skills education around the world

What is Kids Code Jeunesse:

We are a bilingual Canadian charity determined to give every Canadian child access to digital skills education, with a focus on girls and underserved communities.

We encourage inclusive and sustainable learning by teaching kids and the educators who play a crucial role in their development. We’re making sure kids have the confidence and creative tools they need to build a better future.

“It’s our collective responsibility to make sure our youth are equipped to create and communicate in the world around them. If we deny them a digital skills education then we are failing each one of them, and ultimately their generation.”
