Join the first joint GDG Agentic AI Hackathon in Hungary, bringing together the communities of GDG Budapest, GDG on Campus ELTE, GDG on Campus BME, GDG on Campus UniDeb and NextGen Data Science Club at Corvinus University. This one-day hackathon brings together developers, AI enthusiasts, and innovators to build practical solutions using agentic AI - systems that can autonomously work toward defined goals. Participants will collaborate in teams to design and prototype real-world AI applications and present their projects to a professional technical jury from the industry. The event connects university students with the tech ecosystem through hands-on challenges, mentorship, and technical talks. Participants will work in teams of up to 5 members, so make sure your team includes a mix of skills such as development, data science, AI, product thinking, and presentation. The hackathon is open to both Hungarian and international participants, creating a diverse and collaborative environment. 📅 Date: April 11, 2026 ⏰ Time: 10:00–21:00 CET 📍 Location: Budapest (TBA) 🌐 Language: English 👥 Expected attendance: 100–150 participants Come build, learn, and compete with some of the most active tech communities in Hungary. 🚀 Az eseményről Csatlakozz az első közös GDG Agentic AI Hackathonhoz Magyarországon, amely egyesíti a GDG Budapest, a GDG on Campus ELTE, a GDG on Campus BME és a GDG on Campus UniDeb közösségeit.

A résztvevők csapatokban dolgoznak majd valós AI-alkalmazások tervezésén és prototípusának elkészítésén, majd bemutatják projektjeiket egy szakmai zsűrinek az iparágból. Az esemény összeköti az egyetemi hallgatókat a tech-ökoszisztémával gyakorlati kihívásokon, mentorálással és technikai előadásokon keresztül. A résztvevők legfeljebb 5 fős csapatokban dolgoznak, ezért gondoskodj arról, hogy csapatod változatos tudással rendelkezzen – például fejlesztés, adattudomány, AI, termékgondolkodás és prezentáció terén. A hackathon nyitott magyar és nemzetközi résztvevők számára egyaránt, sokszínű és együttműködő környezetet teremtve. 📅 Dátum: 2026. április 11. ⏰ Időpont: 10:00–21:00 CET 📍 Helyszín: Budapest (hamarosan) 🌐 Nyelv: Angol 👥 Várható létszám: 100–150 résztvevő Gyere, építs, tanulj és versenyezz Magyarország egyik legaktívabb tech-közösségeivel együtt. 🚀 Agenda --- Hosted By Zsigmond P.

*All the presentations are in Hungarian. Thanks for your understanding!* Fél évszázad után visszatért az emberiség a Holdhoz, miután az Artemis–2 négy űrhajósa kedden hajnalban elhaladt az égitest mellett. De miért lett újra érdekes a Hold? Pacher Tibor, a Puli Space Technologies vezetője elmondja. A Hold után egy másik nagyon aktuális témáról, az inváziós fajok és kártevők által jelentett kihívásról hallhattok a HUN-REN Ökológiai Kutatóközpont kutatójától, Halassy Melindától. Részletes program: **A holdi víz nyomában avagy mit keres a Puli a Holdon?** *Pacher Tibor – Puli Space Technologies, ügyvezető igazgató* **Új fajok, új kihívások – Az inváziós fajok terjedése és kezelési lehetőségei** *Halassy Melinda – HUN-REN Ökológiai Kutatóközpont, Ökológiai és Botanikai Intézet* Mi a hasonlóság a homoki prérifű, az ázsiai tigrisszúnyog és a mosómedve között? Egyik sem őshonos a Kárpát-medencében, ám újabban gyorsan terjednek. Az inváziós fajok megjelenése ma már alapvetően formálja környezetünket, és kihívást jelent a természet, a gazdaság és az emberi egészség számára is. A folyamat teljesen nem állítható meg, hiszen a globalizáció és az emberi mobilitás folyamatosan új fajok megjelenésének kedvez. Ugyanakkor a terjedés üteme lassítható, a hatások mérsékelhetők, ami időt ad a természetnek és a társadalomnak az alkalmazkodásra. Hazai példákon keresztül bemutatjuk, hogyan zajlik az inváziós folyamat, és hol miképpen lehet még hatékonyan beavatkozni, hogy időt nyerjünk az alkalmazkodáshoz.

*“credentialism is the last acceptable prejudice. In the United States and Europe, disdain for the poorly educated is more pronounced (...) than prejudice against other disfavored groups”* **Michael J. Sandel - The Tyranny of Merit.** **(In english!)** Modern societies increasingly celebrate meritocracy — the idea that talent and effort should determine success. In principle, this seems logical: those who contribute more through their effort or abilities should secure a better life for themselves. Yet meritocracy has many critics. Some argue that it simply does not work or is broken. Others go further: even if it worked perfectly, it would still be unfair — and potentially oppressive. In *The Tyranny of Merit*, Michael J. Sandel, an american philosopher, argues that this belief system has quietly reshaped modern societies, fueling resentment, individualism, a loss of solidarity, and even contributing to the rise of radical political movements. **Introduction of guests (15 minutes)** We start with a short introduction of the guests with the question: * Have you ever achieved something difficult in your career? * How proud do you feel about it? **Questions (1 hour and 45 minutes)** 1. Do you think meritocracy actually exists? 2. Do you feel you truly deserve everything you have today? 3. Have you ever worked hard and still failed? 4. If success is deserved, does failure become deserved too? 5. Do you believe people who struggle are mostly responsible for their situation? 6. Can a society be both highly competitive and compassionate? 7. Should a CEO earn 100 times more than an employee? 8. Does a person’s market value reflect their social contribution or moral worth? 9. Does meritocracy unite or divide society? 10. Should policies aim for equality of outcomes, rather than only equality of opportunity? 11. Do you think meritocracy encourages humility or arrogance? 12. Do working-class voters feel represented by today’s progressive politicians? Why or why not? 13. What happens in a society where everyone has reached their “deserved” position? What happens to those at the bottom? 14. If you are a hardworking person, is that something you built — or something you were lucky to become? *** ### Thought Experiments * Two children: one born into wealth, one into poverty * Two worlds: one aristocratic, one meritocratic **RSVP:** Please confirm your attendance here on Meetup to save your space and if you cannot assist, yield your space to another person in the waiting list. We welcome donations from 1.000 HUF (min 400 HUF) to keep the costs of the meetup. **If you are looking to order food, or drink alcohol-free wine, you dont need to donate for the group. Thank you!**

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.

Columbus Code & Coffee is an inclusive, informal co-working session. People of all skill levels attend, and we love it that way. Many people (optionally) bring projects to work on, and many other people (optionally) socialize the entire time. It's entirely up to you! **What to Expect at the Intro Circle** \~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~ Near the beginning of the event (1:30 pm), we do a standup: * Organizer announcements, updates, and logistics Round 1 - (7 secs max): * Your name * What you're working on * What you can help others with Round 2: * Community events you wanna plug. If none, that's cool too. Round 3: * Job opportunities you're hiring for OR announce that you are looking for one. If none, that's cool. After the introduction circle, everything is self-organized! Feel free to work alone, pair up, attend one of our workshops/presentations, or mingle!
