Inspired by the global hackerspace movement and the lack of technology-related play and creativity in the classroom, Kids Hack Day is a means of closing the gap between education and technological creativity. They aim to change the way children immerse in emerging technologies. Kids Hack Day is a 1-day event where children and adults come together to “hack” and make new uses of every day items. They will create, for example, instruments out of bananas, games out of cardboard and conductive ink, and tinker with gadgets and electronics. In a world that’s changing at an exponential pace, never has technological literacy been as important as it is today.
