In this virtual event aimed at children and families, Yuval presents Unstoppable Us, the first in a new four-volume series of books for young readers. He reveals how fire shrank our stomachs, how our ancestors spoke to animals, what football can tell us about being human, how we used our superpower for good and bad… and how you have the superpower to change the world (in collaboration with How to Academy).

WIRED Next Generation is a unique educational and inspirational festival dedicated to and designed for those aged 13-19. The one-day event will showcase the future and explain how young people can influence it.

Combining inspiring talks with hands-on workshops, this day motivates young people to dream up new ideas, and starts the important conversation on which future they want to build.

Pi members will be required to purchase their own tickets, with a discount code that will be supplied by the events team.

As the pace of technological change steps up over the coming decade, it will be even more important to understand how we can improve our mental resilience and ability to adapt. Children and teens are no exception.

Our brains continue development from birth until our mid-twenties and the teenage years in particular are a period of intense neural development and rewiring. As well as developing new neural pathways, existing ones are also filtered or “pruned” of those which are no longer needed so that the brain can become faster and more efficient.

At this event, intended for Pi members with their children aged 12-19, Dr. Tara Swart will explain in simple language how the brain works and how teens can improve the physical condition of their brains in order to reduce stress and enhance both mental performance and resilience.

At Pi we are always looking for ways to enhance our members’ experience. To this end we are piloting a new series of events, targeted at members together with their teenage children (13-18).

We are incredibly excited to announce that for our first pilot event we are hosting a Hacker Session with Decoded, the World’s Leading Technology Educator. Teenagers will compete versus adults to win challenges including hacking a bank and cracking ciphers. We will explore how real businesses and individuals have become vulnerable to cyber attacks and you will get hands-on with the actual tools used by hackers and security professionals.
