Let the kids see their parents in action, experience real-world innovation, and imagine their own role in tech. We’ll have a corner with light crafting and coloring activities for them.

Note: Parents/guardians must remain on‑site at all times. Parents/guardians retain full responsibility for their child’s safety and well‑being during the event. By registering, you agree to our event waiver.

​As always, food and drink, engaging conversation, and incredible company will all be provided!
