What is leHACK Kids?

leHACK Kids is a day organized alongside leHACK for young people from 8 to 16 years old, in order to allow them to develop and learn through various creative and fun workshops.

Vast areas will be covered during this day, ranging from programming, electronics, chemistry and basics on computer hacking or security (but not only)…

No technical prerequisite is necessary to participate in the workshops and the participation of a young person is not conditioned by the fact that a member of their family participates in leHACK.

Participation in leHACK Kids is free for registered participants, and will take place on Saturday, June 27th, 2026, at La Cité des Sciences et de l’Industrie in Paris.

WARNING: Currently the workshop is only delivered in French.

Please note: LeHACK will take place on Friday June 26th and Saturday June 27th, but LeHACK Kids will only take place on Saturday. Lunch and afternoon snacks will be offered to participants.

Call For Papers

Even if the agenda is already on track, we are always looking for innovative workshops to complete it or for the following years. If you have an idea, even if the preparation time remaining seems too short, do not hesitate to contact us and submit it!

Keep in mind that we currently deliver the workshops only in French.

The workshops are intended for groups of 4 to 6 people from 8 to 16 years old and should be about 45 minutes long. The participants are all considered “novices” and are separated by age groups, but “options” must be arranged to interest a less novice participant on the subject. The workshops must be fun — in the form of a game or allowing the production of an object. The goal is to allow children to understand, experiment and create while having fun.

Themes offered (without limitation):

Small electronic circuits (soldering, components, useful final object <5€)
Object of everyday life (no appliances!)
Physics
Chemistry
Introduction to RaspPi or Arduino
Hacking / Evolution / Toys hacking
Recent technologies (beware of the pitfall of theoretical excess)
Hardware (under the hood of a PC or other object)

If you have another idea for a workshop, don’t hesitate to send it to us. And if you think you can also supervise it, please apply!
