Bringing the FUN for Kids, Tweens, and Teens at Worldcon

A light-skinned child with brown hair in pigtails, wearing a retrofuturistic outfit in shades of blue and purple, holds a wrench in one hand while using a screwdriver on a green robotic pet with their other hand.Are you bringing newer fans to Worldcon, and are wondering what we will have on the schedule just for them? This is merely a preliminary sketch while our detailed plans are being laid, but we thought you would benefit from a preview of some of the fun activities we’re planning for the under-21 set.

Kid Drop-In Space

Do you need a few minutes for your littles to let off some steam, without boring adults talking all the time? Our kid space for ages 11 and under (name to be determined!) will have some static activity areas that you can drop into any time for unstructured play or crafts. We will have toys and books specifically for them, with a comfy spot for a parent to sit while the kids are engaged.

Scheduled Programming for Youth & Tweens/Teens

Additionally, on the official program expect a full schedule of craft projects, story times, music, creative classes, and other entertaining mayhem for youth of all ages, including everything from Drag Queen Story Hour, Poetry Mad Libs, to painting rocks. Teens and Tweens can expect activities targeted to their interests, including crafts, games, panels, and teen-only meetups.

Tween/Teen Lounge

Teens and Tweens will also have use of a lounge just for them—no boring adults allowed!—to decompress and hang out during the convention.

Please come back for more in the months ahead, but have no fear—Seattle Worldcon is planning fun social, educational, gaming, and artistic content for all the members of your family.
