Who it is for

Family Night is geared toward the family members of SAINTCON attendees between the ages of 4 and 16, though everyone is welcome to come along. Every child needs at least one adult with a SAINTCON Conference badge with them the whole time.

What is in the kit

Registered kids get a bag packed with everything they need for the night:

Soldering projectBuild a real electronics kit and take it home.

Good to know

Pre-registration is required for every child taking part. Kits are limited, so register early.
Doors open at 6:00 PM. Come at the start if you want the full evening.
Kits are Thursday only. Pick up your kit on Thursday, October 29, either during early registration (2:00 PM to 4:00 PM) or at Family Night (6:00 PM to 9:00 PM). We cannot hold kits for later pickup.
Bring a photo ID. A government-issued photo ID is required to pick up event kits.
Registration is $15 per participant. Every dollar goes immediately and directly to buying the materials for the event, so the fee is non-refundable. Space is limited, so register early.
Grown-ups come free. Accompanying adults and spouses generally do not need to register or receive a bag, and can usually buy an event T-shirt separately.
