Competition Brief
ProX is a Real World Learning initiative providing summer professional experiences for high school students.
About
WeCode KC is an organization that serves the youth by exposing young people to technology in the forms of various programming languages, cyber security, virtual reality, and other computer science projects. Their goal is to give youth the opportunity to learn technology concepts and leadership skills.
Problem
How might we reach more teenagers in the Kansas City region to share WeCodeKC’s programs/events and mission?
Solution
Our solution is to create an interactive and flashy-looking advertisement directed towards young people. A game would hold the teenagers' attention for longer, and only including basic information would prevent the users from being overwhelmed. The official WeCode website (and the company's social media platforms) will be linked, in case the user desires more in-depth information.
Audience | Target Market
Teenagers and youth are the target audience of our concept, as this advertisement was directed and created with them in mind (after our interview/research work was conducted). From a quick survey and personal experience, WeCode KC's current website and social media did not grab the attention of the teenage mind efficiently.
Learning Outcomes | Community Impact
WeCode KC will see a greater interest in their programs and events. Users will have an easy-to-use and compact platform in which they can access information and other links.
Next Steps
Funding is needed to put the advertisement up on YouTube. If WeCode wishes, it could also be converted to a web page format and put up on their website as well.
Reflection | Other Info
Our empathy and communication skills were definitely increased. This project also helped us refine our programming and graphic design skills.
Resource | Support Needs
We are not currently accepting contributions from our voters. This pitch is part of the ProX competition for $5,000. We will use funding to pay for marketing and advertising to the benefit of WeCode KC.

This was a fantastic pitch! You showed how informed you are about the market space you are entering by understanding and adding in the gamification that comes with your mascot.

Your video is grate and shows how much work you have put in to a Cotten candy business! I did get lost when reading the written submission as it covers skin care products and not cotton candy. This discrepancy made the pitch unclear but a simple update and clarification would get you back on track in no time.
