Meet me at High-Tech CHI.
Welcome to High-Tech CHI!
We are Chicago's premier celebration of computing, bringing together students, parents, educators, and tech industry leaders for a day of hands-on exploration, inspiration, and connection. Hosted annually during Computer Science Education Week, this free community event creates pathways for young people to see themselves as the next generation of tech innovators.
At High-Tech CHI we want to know:
What will you create?
Dream big.
"Young people are Chicago's future... Exposure to opportunity is fundamental to equity in the technology space and events like High-Tech CHI familiarize our youth with increasing opportunities available to them as Chicago continues to rise as a hub for computer science, technology, and innovation.”
— Mayor Brandon Johnson
