HacKid Con (Washington, DC)

Reverse Space, Herndon, VA

Kids are our future, why not give them that spark that will set them on a journey that only “hacking” can inspire?

The gist of the idea for HacKid (sounds like “hacked,” get it?) came about when I took my three daughters aged 6, 9 and 14 along with me to the Source Security conference in Boston.
…
The idea really revolves around providing an interactive, hands-on experience for kids and their parents which includes things like:

* Low-impact martial arts/self-defense training
* Online safety (kids and parents!)
* How to deal with CyberBullies
* Gaming competitions
* Introduction to Programming
* Basic to advanced network/application security
* Hacking hardware and software for fun
* Build a netbook
* Make a podcast/vodcast
* Lockpicking
* Interactive robot building (Lego Mindstorms?)
* Organic snacks and lunches
* Website design/introduction to blogging
* Meet law enforcement
* Meet *real* security researchers ;)
