Where: Malmö Live

Ages: 7-17

We are excited to announce the return of Kidspeak to Leetspeak. Last year's event was a huge success across the board, and this time around the event will be even more leet! At Kidspeak we strive to inspire and encourage young people to challenge themselves while having fun! Together we will have a day where we will learn to code and solve problems.

Kidspeak is a full day event filled with learning and fun. There will be mentors on hand to ensure that each and every child will learn in a fun way. During the course of the day we will explore the core concepts of programming in an accessible manner. We know that these kinds of things, whilst fun and exciting, can be tiring for some kids. That’s why we’ll have nannies on site to help out when the kids need to take a break. Kidspeak is open to all kids between the ages of 7-17, no experience required.

Did you attend last year's event and aren’t really sure if there is anything for you here? Fear not! We have improved the event in every possible way! New material, new hardware and new exercises to create a unique event! Did we mention that the kids will be able to visit Leetspeak as well?

Preliminary schedule

08:00 - 09:00 Breakfast & registration

09:00 - 12:00 Coding

12:00 - 13:00 Lunch

13:00 - 17:00 Coding + afternoon fika

17:00 End of day

Programming is one of the best environments for stimulating creativity and learning. Every problem can be solved in many different ways! We believe that it is important to create an environment where failure is not a problem, it’s only one of many ways to learn. We encourage the children to try to reason out a solution to their task and then to get it done. If it doesn’t work, the mentors are there to nudge them in the right direction. It is our duty to allow young minds the freedom to be creative and learn from it. Of course, the learning doesn’t stop at the end of the day. You will be able to take the hardware and material home with you to keep experimenting!

Keep your eyes open as the tickets will go live soon!

We are excited to see you all in just a few short weeks!

Leetspeak is more than a developer conference. It's a gathering for hungry developers, a place for the community to meet and interact. At Leetspeak we want to bring inspiring, hardcore technical content to those who need (and want) to know.
