Hack to the Future

This came in today on one of my feeds,

What is Hack To The Future?

It is an un-conference that aims to provide young digital creators aged 11 - 18 with positive experiences of computing science and other closely related fields, ensuring that the digital creators of today engage with the digital creators of tomorrow.
We plan to offer a day that will inspire, engage and encourage young digital creators in computing/programming so that they may:
  • consider developing a related interest/hobby
  • discover resources to support their continued interest
  • take part in other associated initiatives
  • be encouraged to study further
  • explore future careers in this field
  • benefit from meeting existing practitioners
  • see beyond gender stereotypes in technology 
Is this something that we should be looking at in our regions
