About This Event:

Code Together Day is a unique event that brings together parents and children to explore the exciting world of technology. Held at a vibrant tech incubator, this day is designed for parents working in tech, aspiring tech professionals, and their children with a budding interest in coding. Engage in enriching discussions with our 'Parents in Tech' panel, access valuable career resources tailored for those seeking a tech career transition or re-entry, and enjoy an array of interactive, educational activities for kids. It's a day of learning, inspiration, and fun for the whole family!

We welcome children of all ages to participate in our exciting program.

Please note the following guidelines:

  • Children under the age of 6 must be accompanied by an adult at all times.

  • The accompanying adult is welcome to split their time between both kids and adult activities.

  • Adults may not drop off their kids and leave; they must be present at TechNexus throughout the entire duration that their kids are participating in the event.

We're excited to create a safe and enjoyable environment for both children and adults to explore and learn together at TechNexus!
