OnyxCon: Youth Tech
OnyxCon: Youth Tech is a hands-on technology event designed to spark creativity and curiosity in the next generation of innovators. Aimed at students ages 10–15, the program introduces youth to exciting pathways in science, technology, engineering, and math through immersive workshops and interactive demonstrations. By meeting peers, mentors, and industry leaders, participants gain not only technical exposure but also the confidence to see themselves thriving in technology careers.
This year’s OnyxCon: Youth Tech features three signature sessions: robotics, drone simulation, and gaming. Students will explore the fundamentals of robotics by designing and programming machines, practice critical thinking and teamwork while piloting drones in a safe simulation environment, and tap into strategy, design, and problem-solving through gaming. Each session is built to be age-appropriate, engaging, and inspiring participants leave with both new skills and a deeper excitement for technology.
More than just a tech showcase, OnyxCon: Youth Tech is about building opportunity and representation. Hosted by Onyx Cyber, the event creates space for underrepresented communities to see technology as an accessible and rewarding path. OnyxCon: Youth Tech not only opens doors but also encourages young learners to envision futures in cybersecurity, engineering, and beyond.
