BloomCON Hak4Kidz is the only kid-friendly hacking conference in Pennsylvania. This event is produced by the Bloomsburg Children’s Museum in conjunction with the BloomCON adult hacking conference. We are also affiliated with the National Hak4Kidz, held in Chicago which was the first official kid-friendly hacking conference in the United States. The event is free* for students 7-17, their parents, and caregivers.**
