Hak4Kidz Chicago 2026 · United States · 2026
Youth-attendee conference identity artifact; handoff unverified
Hak4Kidz's official 2026 flyer says youth attendees receive a fun badge, with lunch, snacks, a T-shirt, and prizes, for its June 6 Chicago event. The official home calls the event Time Travel: Capture the Flag, but the sources do not identify the item's material, artwork, barcode/QR/RFID/NFC/electronic form, linkage to the CTF, allocation, or actual pickup/delivery.
People
The organization publishes the reviewed 2026 event page and flyer used to establish the youth-attendee fun-badge inclusion. This source-attribution credit does not assign artifact design, manufacture, technical authorship, allocation, fulfillment, or image-rights authority.
SourceIt adds a source-backed youth-conference artifact record without treating a fun-badge listing as evidence of electronics, CTF function, adult or chaperone eligibility, or completed fulfillment. The entry preserves the narrow official wording for later post-event reconciliation.
No reviewed official source identifies paper, plastic, metal, a lanyard, dimensions, printed design, barcode, QR code, RFID/NFC, PCB, controller, power, display, connector, radio, or any other physical or technical form.
No reviewed official source identifies firmware, an app, protocol, ticket payload, QR/RFID/NFC behavior, access-control implementation, repository, binary, or technical interaction model for the fun badge.
Time Travel: Capture the Flag was the Hak4Kidz Chicago 2026 event's hands-on CTF framing. The reviewed sources do not state that the named fun badge contains, unlocks, runs, or is required for the CTF.

SourceOperational history
The catalogue records a conservative youth-attendee identity artifact rather than an inferred electronic badge or a more specific physical credential unsupported by the source.
The United States record remains source-backed and image-free rather than copying source-page media, documentation screenshots, event photos, social media, placeholders, or generated approximations.
The record preserves a real organizer-published inclusion statement without turning it into proof that a particular youth attendee received an artifact or that it participated in the CTF.
