ABOUT KIDS HACK DAY
Welcome to KIDS Hack Day, a fun and exciting initiative brought to you by Caplora School and Global Kids Hack Day! Kids Hack Day is a chance for kids and adults to get creative with technology and hack everyday objects and new technologies together. This event was inspired by the global hackerspace movement and the desire to bring more tech-related play and creativity into the classroom. Join us as we strive to revolutionize how we introduce kids to emerging technologies. This one-day event was started by Carl Bärstad, a former TEDxStockholm organizer, as a way to foster collaboration between schools and local hackerspaces. We can't wait to see what you'll create at STEAM Hack Day!
