Cette formation est payante. L'inscription sur Meetup ne réserve PAS votre place. Inscription obligatoire sur : [https://mlab.ai/formations/de-novice-en-programmation-a-concepteur-dia-en-3h/](https://mlab.ai/formations/de-novice-en-programmation-a-concepteur-dia-en-3h/)

This group is for anyone interested in writing in English, whether it be prose or poetry or non-fiction. We get together once a week to listen, critique and support each other in our work. Attendees bring something they have written, six copies, printed out and no longer than seven pages, which they read aloud. They then receive feedback from the rest of the group. The size of the group is limited to 6, so that everyone is able to receive a full 30 minutes of constructive feedback including reading time. If you have nothing to read but would like to come and listen, you are most welcome too. We are an anglophone group and everything is conducted in English, in fact not everyone who comes can speak French. Please bear this in mind if you sign up.

Ainsi, grâce à la lumière utilisée comme source d’information, nous n’avons pas besoin de toucher les étoiles ou les planètes pour connaître leur composition. Sur Terre, nous pouvons aussi reconnaître des poudres explosives ou des produits illicites. Nous savons sonder les pigments de tableaux anciens et découvrir les techniques picturales utilisées par Léonard de Vinci. La lumière nous invite à un fabuleux voyage à travers le temps, l’espace et les technologies ! 🎙️**Intervenants:** Les physiciens **Vincent Boudon**, **Arnaud Cuisset**, **Cyril Richard**1 et **Maud Rotger** 📝 **Inscription (Gratuit) :** [Conférence - Peut-on voir l’invisible ?](https://billetterie.cite-sciences.fr/activites.html?tx_site_offerbooking%5Boffer%5D=741&tx_site_offerbooking%5Bshow%5D=2534955191312000023&cHash=d107982122e88658829d549f58ebce0c&_gl=1*nt84mf*_up*MQ..*_ga*OTc4MDI2ODQ3LjE3NzgyNTA1MjA.*_ga_Y1RMK6SM9Z*czE3NzgyNTA1MTkkbzEkZzEkdDE3NzgyNTA3ODEkajQ5JGwwJGgw*_ga_GDBZL979Q1*czE3NzgyNTA1MTkkbzEkZzEkdDE3NzgyNTA3ODEkajQ5JGwwJGgw) 🍺 Après la conférence, pour celles et ceux qui le souhaitent, nous pourrons continuer la discussion autour d’un café ou d’un verre à proximité — pour *échanger librement sur ce qui nous a marqué, poser des questions, ou simplement prolonger le moment.* Par exemple au cet resto Turque : [Éfendi Grill House](https://maps.app.goo.gl/86EKe86RwGgmCsAk8?g_st=ipc) ▶️ **Diffusion en direct** La séance sera également diffusée en direct : **[https://www.youtube.com/live/DH3t2Abmolw](https://www.youtube.com/live/DH3t2Abmolw)** À très bientôt pour explorer l’Univers ensemble ! 🌌 **P.S. :** Nous publions également ici des événements à la croisée des sciences et des lettres : [Paris Cultural Outings Circle](https://www.meetup.com/paris-cultural-outings-circle/) 🌼🍀 %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% 🇬🇧 🇬🇧 🇬🇧 🇬🇧 **Dear Group Elements,** (Yes, just like elements of a [mathematical group ](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Group_theory)🙂) Let’s attend this conference together: **[Can We See the Invisible?](https://www.cite-sciences.fr/fr/au-programme/activites-spectacles/conferences/saison-2026/les-insolites?_gl=1*1oad29j*_up*MQ..*_ga*OTc4MDI2ODQ3LjE3NzgyNTA1MjA.*_ga_Y1RMK6SM9Z*czE3NzgyNTA1MTkkbzEkZzEkdDE3NzgyNTA3NzUkajU1JGwwJGgw*_ga_GDBZL979Q1*czE3NzgyNTA1MTkkbzEkZzEkdDE3NzgyNTA3NzUkajU1JGwwJGgw#item-grid-190853)**[ ](https://www.cite-sciences.fr/fr/au-programme/activites-spectacles/conferences/saison-2026/les-insolites?_gl=1*1oad29j*_up*MQ..*_ga*OTc4MDI2ODQ3LjE3NzgyNTA1MjA.*_ga_Y1RMK6SM9Z*czE3NzgyNTA1MTkkbzEkZzEkdDE3NzgyNTA3NzUkajU1JGwwJGgw*_ga_GDBZL979Q1*czE3NzgyNTA1MTkkbzEkZzEkdDE3NzgyNTA3NzUkajU1JGwwJGgw#item-grid-190853) 🌌 **Conference Description** 🔭 Light carries within it the signature of every material it encounters along its path. Thanks to light as a source of information, we don’t need to touch stars or planets to know their composition. On Earth, we can also detect explosive powders or illicit substances. We can analyze the pigments in ancient paintings and uncover the techniques used by Leonardo da Vinci.

## Details Hello writers, we are happy to meet you in our new permanent home: Bohème Coworking, located at 21 rue Sedaine in the 11th arrondissement. When you arrive, just tell the friendly folks at La Boheme reception that you are with the writing group. They will give you a little wooden knick-knack with the wifi codes and a number that they use to determine the cost based on time spent (it's 3,80 € per hour, paid at the end). ***Now, about Ready-Set-Write! ..*.** Ready Set Write! is a regular meeting of motivated writers who grab a beverage, then shut up and write. ***What it is:*** An opportunity for writers to get together and do short, intense bursts of writing. We write for 45-ish minutes, take a 15 minute break, rinse & repeat. ***What it is NOT:*** neither a forum for critiquing each other's work, nor shameless self-promoting your projects or groups. You pay for the time you spend, and have access to coffee, tea, and wifi. **AND FINALLY ...** * Register in advance, and only if you will join us in-person. * Update your RSVP if you cannot make it. * Please be respectful and considerate with our writing colleagues. ***Stay tuned for location updates!***

Lyric writing weekly group practice. A few object writing rounds to start, get our reps in — a favorite from the canon, Write Better Lyrics by P. Pattinson.* Followed by other exercises. I adapt the program depending on who shows up. *Object writing : a noun picked through a random word generator, a 10 min timer to delve into our sensory imagination and free-flow with this prompt. We then take turn sharing.

**🚨 Inscription gratuite et obligatoire sur [ce lien](https://www.lewagon.com/fr/events/comment-l-ia-transforme-le-product-management-HPFVtl) 🚨** L'IA change le product management. Mais comment, vraiment ? Rejoignez-nous pour une table ronde sans langue de bois avec Louis Comte (Station F) et l'équipe product de Welcome to the Jungle, qui vient de sortir toute une suite de produits IA. On parlera des compétences qui comptent aujourd'hui, des nouveaux métiers qui émergent, et de ce qui change vraiment au quotidien pour les PMs. Du concret, des exemples, zéro bullshit. Ce qu'on va explorer ensemble : → Les nouvelles pratiques : comment l'IA modifie la façon de faire du product, de la discovery à la delivery → Les compétences qui émergent : prompt engineering, data literacy, AI ethics... Qu'est-ce qu'un PM doit maîtriser en 2026 ? → Les nouveaux métiers : AI Product Manager, c'est quoi exactement ? Qui fait quoi dans une équipe product aujourd'hui ? → Les produits qui deviennent possibles : qu'est-ce qu'on peut construire maintenant qu'on ne pouvait pas il y'a 18 mois ? **🚨 Inscription gratuite et obligatoire sur [ce lien](https://www.lewagon.com/fr/events/comment-l-ia-transforme-le-product-management-HPFVtl) 🚨**

**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** Like it or not, AI agents are now capable of turning a quickly written paragraph of requirements into a pull request that is ready to be integrated into real-world production applications and it's now our responsibility to make sure AI doesn't go rogue and take down prod - or corrupt our data by misunderstanding the requirements or our existing schemas. In this session we'll explore strategies to protect our codebases through unit and integration testing, documentation, and code review along with additional ways of providing context and guard rails to our AI agents as they carry out the work we've assigned them to do. By the time we're done, you'll have a firm grasp of the problem and understand some helpful options for protecting your codebase from vibe coding mishaps getting YOLOed into prod. **YouTube Link** https://youtube.com/live/BltmWMH1zG0?feature=share

Join us this Thursday 6:30 pm at the Westerville Veterans Memorial for two loops around the Westerville Sports Complex fields. This 1 mile loop is a flat fully paved trail that straddles Alum Creek. Join us for a beautiful evening hike together!

Most people use AI like a search box: they type one sentence, hope for the best, and get frustrated when the answer is generic, wrong, or useless. But getting better results from tools like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and other AI systems is not about memorizing magic prompts. It is about learning how to give the AI better context. In this beginner-friendly session, we’ll break down how to make AI dramatically more useful by improving the way you communicate with it. You’ll learn how to give clearer instructions, provide examples, set constraints, ask for better output formats, and use follow-up questions to turn a mediocre answer into a genuinely useful one. We’ll cover practical techniques you can use immediately for work, learning, writing, coding, planning, research, and everyday problem solving. We’ll also touch on why these same ideas show up in more advanced AI systems, including RAG, agents, evaluations, and AI workflows. No technical background required. Bring your curiosity, your questions, and maybe one real task you wish AI was better at helping you with. **What you’ll learn:** * Why “better prompting” is really about better context * How to structure requests so AI gives more useful answers * How to use examples, constraints, and output formats * How to iterate when the first answer is not good enough * How these skills connect to more advanced AI workflows This meetup is for anyone who wants to move beyond basic ChatGPT usage and start getting more practical value out of AI. LOGISTICS AND PARKING: The talk starts at 7:00 PM. The first half hour is reserved for everyone to get set up and mingle. Free pizza and drinks! The cheapest parking option is to find street parking, which will only cost you a few bucks. Otherwise, park in the nearby veteran's museum lot for $8. It's highly recommended you avoid the nearby $15 garage parking.

Join us for an hour of writing! We’ve discovered that it’s strikingly helpful to write with other writers. See if it’s true for you at 7:00pm on Wednesday, February 11 at Streetlight Guild. Be it a book, blog, script, essay, dissertation, resume, melody, poem or just plain work stuff, you are invited to write it with us. No one will see what you've written or give you unsolicited advice. Instead of just thinking about writing, come and get some real writing done. **SCHEDULE:** 6:45ish - Quick introductions 7:00 - Timer starts: write for 1 hour 8:00 - The End **OPTIONAL SOCIALIZING** happens before and after the writing hour. Writing is very solitary. Connecting (and sometimes even commiserating) with other writers is a cool thing. **BEING LATE IS OKAY:** just show up and get settled! If you were on time, please be willing to make room for the friendly latecomer. Happy writing & I look forward to seeing you at Streetlight Guild! **WHAT SHOULD I BRING?** Whatever you need to be able to write! You're welcome to bring earplugs/headphones if noise will bother you! **OTHER IMPORTANT DETAILS:** * **RSVP:** Please RSVP by 6:00pm the evening of the meeting. This helps me know how many to expect, and if we'll need additional space! * **COVID:** While masks are not required, please be mindful of the other writers around you and their comfort levels. * **WIFI/OUTLETS:** Outlets are limited, so please ensure your devices are charged when you come! But Streetlight Guild does have free WiFi! Yay! * **PARKING:** There is free public parking at Streetlight Guild.
