Young Inspirers was first introduced by PyCon Taiwan in 2021 as a brand-new program created to give teenagers a space to learn, share, and connect. This year, we’ve updated the name to the more general Young Inspires, with the goal of turning this platform into a place where young inspirers can share their experiences, ideas, challenges, and problem-solving methods throughout their learning journey — inspiring more youth to engage in technology and innovation.
At PyCon Taiwan 2025, we’re inviting young speakers on-site for the first time ever, with a focus on three key areas: programming education, academic research, and open-source contribution. Through a live interview format, they will present their project ideation, design, and implementation process — cultivating diverse thinking, cross-group collaboration, and system-integration skills, while fostering dialogue and information exchange across generations.
This year’s Young Inspires event will differ from previous editions and, for the first time, will be conducted in a live interview format. The event will take place over two days. On Saturday, there will be two sessions, each lasting 30 minutes, including a 25-minute themed interview and a 5-minute live Q&A. On Sunday, there will be one 60-minute session consisting of a 50-minute themed interview and a 10-minute live Q&A. During the themed interviews, a PyCon Taiwan host and the speaker will discuss the speaker’s personal journey, followed by an interactive Q&A between the audience and the speaker.
