“Do We Really Understand What We’re Building?” - Hands-on Example Mapping
Back in August, we explored how Design Thinking can help us uncover and validate the right problems. But even when we agree on what to build, things often go wrong, not because of bad solutions, but because we don’t fully understand what the problem actually means in practice.
In this session, we’ll build on that idea and focus on the next step: turning vague ideas into something concrete, shared, and testable.
Using Example Mapping - a lightweight technique from Behaviour-Driven Development (BDD) - we’ll work in small groups to:
* Break down a feature into rules, examples, and questions
* Surface hidden assumptions and edge cases
* Align on what the behaviour of a system should actually look like
If the previous session was about finding the right problem, this one is about understanding it well enough to build it right.
This is a hands-on workshop. Be prepared to participate fully and add to the energy of the room. Looking forward to seeing you there!
Park Workout and Martial Arts
We'll start off the session with a run in Gleisdreieck park that might include scaling some walls, visiting a few sites in the area to explore their opportunities for climbing and balancing, or going up or down stairs in unusual ways. After the outdoors bit, we come back to our gym where we focus on building strength, working as a group, and learning basic martial arts techniques. We are a small, accessible, mixed-gender, queer-friendly group open to anyone, without any prior knowledge or specific degree of fitness required. Our martial art is Jutaijutsu, a traditional Japanese one focused on self-defence.
Sounds interesting? We'd love for you to drop by and join us. You'll need running shoes and comfortable workout clothes, including a raincoat or the like for the park if the weather is bad. Once indoors, we train barefoot. The first three Meetups are free of charge. If you'd like to join our group beyond that, we would ask you to join our association, https://yanagi.berlin, a martial arts school based in Berlin. Membership there is 30 EUR/month and you will be able to train three times a week.

Cards Against Humanity Tuesday
Ok everybody, it's 2026, and after taking a break for the holidays, games are starting up again as usual.
We'll meet, have a beer, and play a round of cards against humanity. Laughs will be had, groans will be groaned, beer will go down the hatch. This event is public, and prior experience with the game is not required.
You are not required to drink alcohol, but please note that we are crashing a bar (cash only), so a beverage purchase or two is appropriate and necessary for us to maintain their goodwill.
See you there!

Tauche ein in die Welt der Ballettfotografie: Gemeinsam mit Lolita und Denys entsteht ein Foto-Workshop, der die direkte Begegnung und fotografische Zusammenarbeit mit einem Tanz-Duo in den Mittelpunkt stellt. Im Fokus stehen ausdrucksstarke Motive einzeln und zu zweit sowie Einblicke in den Berufsalltag von professionellen Bühnentänzerinnen und -tänzern. Bei diesem Workshop arbeiten wir mit einer Auswahl verschiedener Kostüme.
**Was dich erwartet**
Bei diesem Workshop habt ihr die Gelegenheit, das Gelernte direkt auszuprobieren, Fotos zu machen und Feedback zu bekommen. Inhalte auf die wir uns konzentrieren, sind:
* Grundlagen und Feinheiten der klassischen und modernen Balletttechnik – verständlich erklärt und aus fotografischer Perspektive gedacht
* Zusammenarbeit mit Tänzerinnen und Tänzern: Was du im Umgang mit Profis wie Lolita und Denys wissen musst
* Fototechniken und Perspektiven speziell für die Inszenierung von professionellem Ballett
* Kreativität und Moderne trifft Ballett: 3h bieten viel Raum für Abwechslung - ob Kostümwechsel, anderes Licht oder eigene Ideen, hier seid auch ihr gefragt! :)
**Über Lolita und Denys**
Lolita und Denys sind staatlich ausgebildete und geprüfte Balletttänzer. Beide absolvierten ihre Ausbildung an der Staatlichen Ballettschule Berlin und sind seit mehreren Jahren an der Musikalischen Komödie der Oper Leipzig engagiert. Neben ihrer fundierten klassischen Ballettausbildung verfügen sie über ein breites Repertoire und sind ebenso im modernen sowie zeitgenössischen Tanz vielseitig versiert.
Seit nunmehr fast neun Jahren widmen sie sich zudem intensiv der Tanzfotografie und standen unzählige Male für Foto- und Videoaufnahmen verschiedenster Art vor der Kamera. Die gemeinsame Reise in die Welt der Tanzfotografie begann 2018 zusammen mit Carolin. Seither verbindet sie eine enge und kreative Zusammenarbeit, die sie mit großer Leidenschaft fortführen.
**Die Location**
Das Reel2Reel Studio in Berlin-Reinickendorf bietet uns einen kreativen Raum mit vielen verschiedenen Möglichkeiten der Lichtsetzung - ob Tageslicht oder künstlichem Dauerlicht und auf Wunsch auch in Farbe. Hier können wir uns in jedem Fall gemeinsam austoben.
Kaffee und Tee ist inklusive.
Das Studio ist mit den öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln über S Wilhelmsruh (S1, S8) über U Residenzstraße (U8) oder mit dem 122er Bus über Kopenhagener Str./ Flottenstr. gut zu erreichen.

Trotz Kulanz kann der Buchungspreis unter Angaben von Gründen nur bis spätestens zwei Wochen vor dem Event erstattet werden. Hintergrund sind entstehende Kosten und Planungssicherheit für unsere Tänzer:innen sowie die Location.

Skaten um den Müggelsee
Hallo Zusammen,
bei trockenem und schönem Wetter können wir die Runde um den Müggelsee machen.
Der Winter ist vorbei, Zeit, sich wieder auf die Kufen zu wagen.
Beginn in S-Bahn Friedrichshagen, ca. 15:20, ich fahre ca. um 15:00 in Ostkreuz los.
(Eis-)Bademöglichkeiten gibt es nach ca. 15 km am Strandbad oder nach ca. 9 km am kleinen Müggelsee. Getränke solltet Ihr in diesem Fall dabei haben. Ausstiegsmöglichkeiten gibt es nach ca. 15 km in Rahnsdorf oder bei Erkner - dann verpasst Ihr aber das beste Stück.
Wenn wir über Köpenick zurückfahren, dann sparen wir und den Spreetunnel.
Grundlegende Skate- und Bassibremskenntnisse werden erwartet. Jeder ist für seine eigene Sicherheit verantwortlich.
Wer es nicht schafft - die Müggelseerunde ist eine der besten Berlins, ich plane sie noch öfters dieses Jahr.

Art Night - Bring Your Own Work
Welcome to the Art School - 20's & 30's artists Meetup group! This is a community for young artists who are passionate about exploring different mediums and techniques in the world of art. Whether you're a painter, sculptor, photographer, or mixed media artist, this group is the perfect place to connect with like-minded individuals, have a space to work on your craft, and showcase your work. Let's inspire and support each other on our artistic journeys! Whether you're a novice or a seasoned artist, all skill levels are welcome. Join us and unleash your creativity!
This month we will be discussing **Frank Santoro**, an American cartoonist, painter, and comics critic known for his expressive lines, experimental page layouts, and vibrant use of color. His graphic novels—including *Storeyville*, *Pompeii*, and *Pittsburgh*—blend personal storytelling with innovative visual structure, often exploring memory, place, and relationships. In addition to his comics, Santoro has been an influential voice in comics education and criticism, co-founding the magazine *ComicsComics* and creating the **Santoro Correspondence Course for Comic Book Makers**, which has helped train and inspire a new generation of cartoonists.
Afterwards, we will have time to work on our individual art projects, hang out, and if anyone is interested in feedback on their work, there will be time for that as well.
CBusData: The Fellowship of the Star Schema: Transforming OLTP Data for Power BI
The Fellowship of the Star Schema: Transforming OLTP Data for Power BI
One does not simply build reports on OLTP data. Join us on an epic journey from the depths of raw, normalized tables to the shining halls of a well-modeled star schema fit for Power BI greatness. We will demystify the differences between OLTP and OLAP, walk through star schema vs snowflake (and why Power BI has a clear favorite), and show you the compression differences between normalized and columnar storage that will make you never look at an OLTP model the same way again.
We will cover the different types of dimensions, when to use them, and how to handle Slowly Changing Dimensions without losing your mind. You will leave knowing exactly how to identify a bad model, how to convert OLTP data into a clean star schema, and how to forge relationships that rule them all.
Whether you are a data wizard, a curious hobbit, or somewhere in between, your models will never be the same.
