Want to get started in the world of hacking but don't know how? How do you inspire your kids to begin looking at things like a hacker? When should you start? What should you do? Eleven-year-old old hacker BiaSciLab and 14-year-old Kousei will answer these questions and more as they set adults at ease with bringing their kids into the hacker world.
