Special Guest Speakers at Startup Kids Club - Building Blocks Edition at The Network School

Join us for an extraordinary family journey exploring how our universe is constructed - from the quantum bits that power computing, to the digital bits that build our online world, to the physical materials that shape our cities. This unique program connects the fundamental building blocks of nature with how we learn, create, and build in both digital and physical realms. Parents and children are encouraged to participate together in all activities throughout the day. Bring your laptop for the afternoon hackathon.
