Young Inspirers

Young Inspirers is an initiative first introduced by PyCon Taiwan in 2021, dedicated to creating a welcoming space for teenagers to learn, share, and connect. Through this platform, young individuals are encouraged to share their experiences and perspectives, fostering diverse thinking, cross-community collaboration, and systems integration skills, while also facilitating meaningful exchanges across different generations. At PyCon Taiwan 2025, we are excited to invite young speakers to participate on-site for the very first time. In interactive interviews, these young talents will share insights into their projects—from conception and design to implementation—and discuss the challenges they faced, as well as their innovative solutions. Our aim is to inspire and encourage more youngsters to engage actively in technology and innovation.

This year, Young Inspirers adopts an entirely new format, presenting sessions as live, on-stage interviews. Each session will last approximately 30 minutes, featuring a 25-minute interactive dialogue between a PyCon Taiwan host and the young speaker, followed by a 5-minute live Q&A session. The audience will have the opportunity to directly engage with the speakers, creating an immersive and dynamic experience for all participants.
