It's a pretty light week of events for the tech community in Chicago. Although Thanksgiving may be the focus for the next few days, be sure not to miss some of the great tech and startup events happening around the city before and after turkey day!
Sunday
Kick off the week at the 2016 Young Tech Challenge, an opportunity for Chicago's young innovators (age 8-22) to submit and present their toy tech product to a team of expert toy developers. Toys can be created on any platform, including mobile, console, and PC, but they can also be built with Lego, robotics, or any kind of tech. For more details, click here.
