🔥 **LA RIVOLUZIONE INTERIORE: Il tuo primo atto di resilienza** **…“Viviamo in un mondo dove siamo tutti interconnessi, e quindi il bene o il male che facciamo a un altro finiamo per farlo a noi stessi. Bisogna quindi imparare a cooperare invece di competere indiscriminatamente. E se non ora quando?”... Federico Faggin** **Perché farlo:** Difronte alla **disintegrazione e al cinismo** la nostra risposta è **una rivoluzione interiore** che si esprime in **solidarietà e resistenza nonviolenta.** Qui alleniamo **azioni valide,** quelle che rafforzano l’unità interna e riducono contraddizione e sofferenza, dentro e fuori di noi. ### **🌱 IL NOSTRO PERCORSO SETTIMANALE è l'allenamento per la Doppia Rivoluzione: Interna e del mondo che ci circonda.** * **Pratiche di consapevolezza:** Impariamo a connetterci con la parte più vera e profonda di noi. * **Autoconoscenza:** Conosci te stesso, fai **pace** con il passato, **trasforma** il presente**, costruisci il futuro**. Qui rompiamo le catene della paura e della violenza che ci tengono bloccati. 🫂 **LA FORZA NELL'UNIONE: si cresce insieme!** * **RELAZIONI AUTENTICHE:** Spazi di ascolto sincero, condivisione e mutuo sostegno. **Non c’è rivoluzione senza comunità.** Ci alleniamo a compiere azioni che rafforzano l’unità e riducono la contraddizione, dentro e fuori di noi. * **PROGETTAZIONE E AZIONE SOLIDALE:** La nostra consapevolezza interiore si trasforma in **azione nonviolenta e solidale**. Insieme pensiamo e costruiamo iniziative concrete e comunità che sfidano la logica del potere e del consumo, riportando l'essere umano al centro. ### **Cosa troverai qui** * **Un cammino,** non un corso da seguire. Non si viene solo a “prendere”: qui si cresce insieme. **La Regola d’Oro come bussola etica.** * Un contesto del tutto non-confessionale e aperto a ogni forma di ateismo, spiritualità e provenienza religiosa. * **Un ambiente libero** dove puoi crescere davvero, uno spazio in cui crescano la gentilezza, il buon umore e la sincerità interiore. * **Persone con cui praticare, dialogare, fare nuove esperienze, condividere momenti di festa e di silenzio.** **🚫 Cosa NON è** * **❌ Non è psicoterapia** *** ### **🔄 Come partecipare** **Ci incontriamo ogni settimana a Roma e online.** **COME PRENOTARE: se interessati, oltre a segnarvi nell'evento, è FONDAMENTALE PRENOTARSI SU TELEGRAM o WHATSAPP al +393461476543** **POSTI: 20 (RSVP obbligatorio)** **QUANDO si svolge**: tutti i sabato dalle ore 11,00 alle 13,00. **A CHI E' RIVOLTO**: **a giovani fino a 30 anni di età.** **GLI EVENTI SONO GRATUITI**: tutte le attività sono gratuite, ma si richiede, dopo il primo incontro di prova, un contributo annuale di 20€ per coprire le spese per i materiali, i social, la sala e spese varie. **COSA PORTARE:** curiosità, rispetto, un quaderno dove annotare le difficoltà e i progressi.

Join us for an engaging panel discussion on **AI Agentic Coding** and how autonomous AI systems are transforming the way software is built. Experts in AI, software engineering, and developer tools will share insights on how agentic AI—systems that can plan, reason, and execute coding tasks—is reshaping modern development workflows. The discussion will cover topics such as AI-assisted development, productivity gains, challenges around reliability and governance, and what the future of software engineering may look like with AI agents as collaborators. Whether you’re a developer, tech leader, or AI enthusiast, this session is a great opportunity to learn, ask questions, and explore how agentic AI is redefining coding

**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you. The building address is 4450 Bridge Park The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400 You will need to scan your ID at the door to get a visitor badge. **Abstract** GitHub Copilot is powerful, but what if you could scale from a solo AI assistant to an entire team of specialized agents working in parallel? This session introduces Squad: an open-source framework for multi-agent orchestration that lets you define teams of AI agents with specific roles, responsibilities, and expertise. We'll progress from Copilot basics to the Copilot CLI, explore how Agents add autonomy, and see how Instructions and Skills let you customize agent behavior. Then, the climax: a live demo where a Squad team of 3 agents (Lead, Developer, Tester) stands up and builds a working application in real-time, showcasing true multi-agent collaboration. Whether you're new to AI or exploring how to scale your use of Copilot, this session will show you what's possible when agents work as a team. **YouTube Link** TBD

Bring your Raspberry Pi, Arduino, microcontroller, or any other electronic project and join fellow electronics makers for a night of creativity and collaboration! This session is open forum to share your current projects—whether complete or in progress, it’s all interesting! Whether you’re deep into embedded systems, exploring new ideas, or just getting started, you’ll find a welcoming space to collaborate, share, and get inspired. **New to electronics or curious about tinkering?** You’re absolutely welcome. If you’re a beginner and want to experiment, I’ll have a couple of starter kits available so you can try things out—whether that’s blinking your first LED, putting something on a display, or experimenting with simple sensors. No pressure and no experience required—just an interest in learning and building. While we continue to pursue a more permanent venue for this Meetup, we’ll be using public library facilities based on availability. This session will be at the Worthington Park Library in the Olentangy Meeting Room.

**PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING IMPORTANT NOTES:** 1. The dates listed for this series are about 95% reliable. We are completing our 2026 schedule as we speak, so minor adjustments are still occurring. 2. Each class in this series has an attendance fee, though this first offering is free on a first-come, first-served basis. 3. Each class, from BOTH a sign-up and fee perspective, is a separate entity. **Introduction:** HTML5 is the foundational technology for modern web development, serving as the standard markup language for structuring and presenting content on the World Wide Web. Developed through a collaboration between the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) and the Web Hypertext Application Technology Working Group (WHATWG), HTML5 provides a robust system of elements (tags) that tell a browser how to display text, images, and multimedia in a clear and meaningful way. It works in concert with Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) for presentation and JavaScript for interactivity, forming the core technology stack for virtually all websites and many web applications today. One of the significant advancements of HTML5 is the introduction of powerful new features and elements designed to improve functionality and simplify development. Key additions include native multimedia support via the \ and \ tags, allowing developers to embed media without third-party plugins. It also offers new form controls for better user input, such as date and email types, and introduces web storage capabilities to store data offline for enhanced performance. These features streamline the process of building rich, interactive web experiences. A significant focus of HTML5 is enhanced semantics and better structural organization of content. New semantic elements like , , , , and \ provide meaningful structure to documents, which aids in search engine optimization (SEO) and improves accessibility for assistive technologies. These elements define different parts of a webpage (e.g., a header for the top, a nav for navigation links, a footer for the bottom), making the code more readable and understandable for both developers and machines. This emphasis on clear structure helps in creating more logical and maintainable websites. Developing websites in today's competitive environment requires taking advantage of every technique you can to get the maximum exposure possible. Our HTML5 class will not only show you what's new in the HTML specification, but also the best way to develop optimized web pages that get the attention your client and/or company requires. **The breakdown of the four-class series is as follows:** **Class 1: Introduction to Web Structure and Basic HTML5** This class introduces the core concepts of web development, the history of HTML, and the fundamental structure of an HTML5 document. * **Topics**: * **Web Architecture Overview**: How browsers, servers, and web pages interact. * **HTML Fundamentals**: Understanding elements, tags, and attributes. * **Basic Document Structure**: Using !DOCTYPE html, html, head, and body. * **Text Formatting**: Headings (h1 to h6), paragraphs (p), and text-level semantics (e.g., strong, em, br). * **Lists and Links**: Creating ordered (ol) and unordered (ul) lists, and linking between pages using anchor tags (a). * **Activity**: Students create a basic personal webpage containing text, a list of hobbies, and a link to an external website. **Class 2: Semantic HTML5 and Multimedia Integration** Class 2 focuses on modern HTML5 elements that provide meaning (semantics) to content, improving accessibility and search engine optimization. It also covers adding images and multimedia. * **Topics**: * **Semantic Elements**: Understanding and implementing elements like header, footer, nav, section, and article. * **Images**: Adding images using the img tag and attributes like src, alt, width, and height. * **Multimedia**: Embedding audio and video content using the audio and video tags. * **File and Folder Structure**: Best practices for organizing project files and managing file paths. * **Activity**: Students refactor their Class 1 project to use a proper semantic layout and add an image and a link to a video file. **Class 3: Forms and User Input** This session is dedicated to building interactive HTML5 forms, which are essential for capturing user data and input. * **Topics**: * **Form Basics**: Using the form element, action and method attributes. * **Input Types**: Exploring various input types (e.g., text, password, checkbox, radio, date, submit). * **Form Elements**: Utilizing label, textarea, select, option, and button. * **Client-side Validation**: Implementing HTML5 validation attributes like required, minlength, and pattern. * **Activity**: Students build a complete contact form with different input fields, radio buttons, and basic HTML5 validation. **Class 4: Introduction to CSS3 and Basic Styling** The final class introduces Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) to style the HTML content and make the web pages visually appealing and accessible. * **Topics**: * **CSS Fundamentals**: The role of CSS, selectors, properties, and values. * **Integrating CSS**: Using inline, internal, and external style sheets. * **The Box Model**: Understanding margin, padding, border, and content for basic layout. * **Basic Styling**: Changing colors, fonts, and text alignment. * **Accessibility Basics**: Identifying principles of web design usability and accessibility, including ARIA labels. * **Activity**: Students apply an external CSS file to their Class 3 form project to style the layout, colors, and fonts, culminating in a well-structured and styled webpage.

AI is changing how art is made. But when does it stop being your work and start being the machine’s? This month we're going to be doing a panel with with digital image, music, and written word artists, talking about at what point, while using AI in the creation process, does the work become not the artist creation? We encourage audience participation during this event that will be moderated by Chris Slee. Whether you’re deep in the field or just getting curious, come connect with others building and exploring AI in Columbus.
