Welcome to Kids Programming! Exploring new dimensions and expanding universes can be exhausting. Kids Programming is the perfect place for explorers, under the age of 13, to come hang out, relax, and share their experiences with other explorers their age. Come and join us for some dynamic fun as we share stories, create masterpieces and make new discoveries together. Look for us in the Kids Programming room and throughout the convention all weekend and help us expand the universe for future generations.
