    I'm Kip. I'll be your guide. I've been here since a game had four colors.

    Hey.

    I'm Kip. I teach five-year-olds how artificial intelligence works, which means I spend a lot of time explaining very large ideas to very small people. I've been around since a computer filled a room and the internet made a sound.

    On Saturday, November 14, an arena in Douglasville turns into forty years of technology. Bring your kid. Bring yourself. You’re going to want to touch things too.

    Yes, the internet used to make a sound. Ask any adult. They can still do it with their mouth.

    Remember?

    Baking soda volcanoesSaturday morning cartoonsThe dial-up soundTaking the radio apart

    A whole generation fell in love with technology because somebody made it feel like magic. A volcano on a tri-fold poster board. A cartoon about a kid with a secret laboratory. The family radio, in pieces on the carpet, ten minutes before anyone noticed.

    That's where it started for most of you. Your kid has never had a moment like that. Saturday is that moment.

    They don't.

    Your kids were born inside it. They have never known a world without a screen in reach, which means technology stopped feeling like anything at all. It’s just the glass in their hand.

    You cannot fall in love with wallpaper.

    I've been saying this for years. Nobody listened until I put it on a website.

    So we built this.

    One Saturday. Two sessions. Forty years of technology laid out across an arena floor, and every single thing on it is meant to be touched.

    Your kids start with the machines you grew up on. They finish having flown a drone, trained an AI model, and taken a real device apart with real tools. You will end up doing at least three of those yourself. Everybody does.

    Every zone is wheelchair accessible, adapted stations are available at each one, and a sensory-friendly quiet room is open all day including during both shows.

    Look.

    No schedules, no assigned groups. Go where you want, in any order. Drone Flight Academy and VR Universe use timed passes, handed to you at the door.

    ZONE 02MAKE SOMETHING

    THE CARTOON LAB

    Where animation meets AI

    Cartoons were the first place a lot of us saw a kid build something impossible. You design your own character, record its voice, and watch how animation went from thousands of hand-drawn pages to tools that draw alongside you.

    You’ll do

    • Design a character
    • Record a voice in the booth
    • Animate your first frames

    One rule.

    90

    SECONDS

    If a kid can't DO something at a booth within ninety seconds, it doesn't get floor space. Vendors, partners, sponsors — everybody. No brochure tables. No look-but-don't-touch. It's why kids remember what they touched.

    I didn't write the rule. I just enforce it. Cheerfully.

    Showtime.

    EXPERIMENT ZERO // BOTH SESSIONS // 35 MINUTES

    Every session opens with a show.

    There's a machine on stage that's been broken for forty years, and the only thing that can power it is a room full of people making noise. Two hosts try to fix it: a professor who was brilliant in 1985 and hasn't updated since, and a high school student who actually knows how any of this works.

    To repair it they travel through four eras of technology, and the audience helps at every stop. You'll be shouting answers, voting on outcomes, and at one point becoming the moving parts of a working computer. A few parents get pulled on stage. Dress for that possibility.

    Every session ends with a finale — the machine powers on, a drone light show rises over the floor, and the City of Douglasville reads the World Tech Day proclamation.

    35 MINUTESEVERY SESSIONSEATED, THEN STANDING

    The show does not start again. Be in your seat by nine.

    Psst — 9th to 12th.

    World Tech Day is built for grades 3 through 8. High schoolers don't attend as guests.

    High schoolers run it.

    We hand-select a crew from schools across the region to fly the demo drones, coach a third grader through her first AI model, and keep the robot battles from becoming actual battles. You get the badge, the shirt, the headset, and service hours your counselor will actually be impressed by.
