Crypto Ħub Malta introduces [Smooth Operators](https://smoothoperators.dev): AI Buildathon An evening for people who like to create. Join us for good conversations, live building, and the energy of a room full of people who actually make things. Whether you are deep into AI coding or just getting started, this is a space to meet others who build, see what people are working on, and get inspired. Bring your laptop. It’s not mandatory to join the challenge. Some of the best evenings happen when people just start tinkering on their own thing next to others doing the same. This is a bar meet-up as much as it is a tech meet-up. Grab a drink, chat, watch, learn, or just soak in the atmosphere. The 2-Hour Build Challenge Running through the evening, builders from the community will be competing in a live challenge. Before the event, anyone can submit an app idea through the event page. At the start of the night, ideas get randomly assigned to builders in a live raffle. Two hours to turn someone else's idea into something that works. At the end, everyone votes. Prizes go to the best build and to the person whose idea inspired it. Want to be part of the challenge? Register as a builder here: https://event.smoothoperators.dev/builders Want to put in an idea? Submit it here: https://event.smoothoperators.dev/ideas Schedule 19:00 -- Builder-idea raffle. Each builder gets randomly matched with a submitted idea, live on screen. If you are building, be set up and ready to go. 19:00 to 21:00 -- Build challenge. 21:00 to 22:00 -- Presentations and voting. Participating in the build challenge? The raffle kicks off at 19:00 sharp. If you are not there, you cannot be matched with an idea and you will not be able to participate. Make sure you are set up and ready to go before the raffle starts. At 21:00, every builder gets a 2-minute slot to present what they made before voting opens. Register as a builder through the web app so we know numbers ahead of time. This is not a competition of skill. We are here to have fun. The point is to build something in two hours, learn something, and see what everyone comes up with. What is Smooth Operators?

**Caller: Richard Ades** **Band: The McKenzies** **Clinton Heights Lutheran Church** **15 Clinton Heights Ave, Columbus, OH 43202** WHAT IS CONTRA DANCING? Picture the Grand Ball scenes like you’ve seen in period films such as “Pride and Prejudice”, where the dancers are lined up in long lines, across from each other. That’s English Country Dancing, the predecessor of contra dancing. Now, add moves like “swing your partner” and “do-si-do,” like you’ve seen in square dancing. Set it to fabulous, high energy, live music with fiddles, guitars, percussion and more, alá “Riverdance.” Finally, set the whole scene down in the middle of Woodstock, with a hip, groovy atmosphere, a bit of tie-dye, and hints of counter-culture attitude. THAT’s Contra Dancing! Wear cool and comfortable clothes (you will get warm) and clean shoes that won't mark up our nice wood floor. Be sure to come for the beginner's lesson from 7:30 - 8:00, followed by dancing 8:00 - 10:30. All dances are taught; we will help you learn! Beginners always welcome, no need to bring a partner. Cost is $10.00 adults, $5.00 ages 12-26. Under 12 free. Free parking in church lot.
