Hacktoberfest for Kids?

Does anyone have good ideas/resources to loop kids into Hacktoberfest?

I'm thinking about pulling together a Hacktoberfest event for school-aged kids. It should be hands-on with a focus on creative collaboration. Ideally going beyond a disposable craft to actually delivering value together.

I think I can get a good physical space, tech professional volunteers and even some funding. I've got 3D printers and a great workshop space.

Big bonus points for anchoring it in the best of American values: democracy, freedom, resilience, pluralism.

Also bonus points for advancing digital citizenship: tech literacy, privacy awareness, trust & safety, etc.
