(Ditto for the "Meet the Feds" talk happening later that afternoon.)
It's cool that this is happening. I spent the weekend volunteering at Vancouver's Maker Faire, and the best part was watching kids interacting with robots, learning to sew or solder, and showing off the cool projects they had worked on. DEFCON is less DIY-oriented, but the principle is the same. Start 'em young, provide constructive outlets for their curiosity, and they will end up with much more understanding and control of the technologies that shape their lives.

I love it! Yet another reason to have a kid. The other being all the awesome toys that are out now.

Exactly, encourage a healthy curiosity and even rebelliousness in them that is missing in a lot of today's parenting.

As one long-time DefCon attendee said on another forum:
Kids at defcon are cute but really don't belong at the event. I'm sure this is going to piss people off, but it certainly changes the experience. I mean really do you want your kid to be a pool 3 girl?posted by scalefree at 5:05 PM on June 27, 2011
I understand they'll be having an event for senior citizen hackers too. Gonna call it DeafCon.
