Men's Tennis Team - Doubles

A 6-hour, hands-on meetup: build a working AI-integrated frontend app, then dive into how AI is reshaping day-to-day team communication and leadership. Join GDG Yerevan for a practical, builder-focused event with two parts: Workshop: create a frontend application integrated with AI (Angular + Google Agent Development Kit (ADK)). Talk: how AI affects daily work communication—and how Mid+ engineers can help teams stay aligned instead of “losing the thread.” What we’ll do Part 1 — Workshop (11:00–14:30) Armen Vardanyan opens with a short intro, then we build together: a frontend app that integrates AI using Google Agent Development Kit (ADK) + Angular. Part 2 — Talk (15:00–16:00) Inesa Toroyan — “Leading with Emotional Intelligence” Let’s talk about what it really means to lead in a world where AI is part of everyday decision-making. This session explores how emotional intelligence helps engineers use AI thoughtfully while strengthening judgment, communication, and trust. We’ll discuss the role of senior engineers and the team dynamics in the era of AI. Part 3 — Networking (16:00–17:00) Meet people, exchange ideas, and connect with the community. 🍕 Pizza will be available during the event (no dedicated pizza break—grab a slice whenever it fits your flow). Who should attend Frontend / Full-stack engineers and students who want hands-on experience integrating AI into real apps. Anyone curious about team workflows and communication changes caused by AI tools. Recommended knowledge (not mandatory, but encouraged) JavaScript fundamentals + familiarity with at least one framework/library Beginner AI basics help (prompts, tokens, temperature, and a general idea of agent/tooling concepts like MCP) Agenda (Feb 21, Yerevan local time) 10:00 — Doors open 11:00 — Opening & workshop kickoff 11:00–14:30 — Workshop: AI-integrated frontend app (Angular + Google Agent Development Kit (ADK)) 14:30–15:00 — Break 15:00–16:00 — Talk: Leading with Emotional Intelligence (40–60 min) 16:00–17:00 — Networking 17:00 — Event ends Speakers Armen Vardanyan — Front End Team Lead at VOLO LLC, Google Developer Expert for Angular, host of Angular Space TV channel, author of Modern Angular.

Are you passionate about supporting other men on their mental health journey? We’re building a movement of virtual and in-person men’s groups across Ohio — and we’re looking for group leaders who want to make a real difference with us. As a group leader, you’ll create a safe space where men can connect, reflect, and grow together. Training and support are provided — you just need heart, presence, and a willingness to lead. **Apply now to lead a group in your area:** 👉 https://form.jotform.com/taketimespeakyourmind/sym-group-leader-application Speak Your Mind is a mental health non profit dedicated to bringing our community together to end the isolation that leads to mental struggle and suicide. Learn more about them here: https://linktr.ee/taketimespeakyourmind

We are recruiting new group leaders for virtual men's groups! Our primary groups are outdoor movement groups, but we are launching virtual groups for the state of Ohio and beyond and the groups will move outside in the spring, creating room for men's groups, women's groups and coed groups all over the country. Read below to learn about our groups and click the links at the bottom to apply. ### **What is an Outdoor Empowerment Group?** Our Outdoor Movement & Community Empowerment Groups are simple, guided experiences designed to help people reconnect with nature, themselves, and others. We combine some form of movement (hike, walk, run, bike, yoga, workout) and meaningful conversation within a simple community circle to create a space where individuals can support each other while prioritizing mental and physical well-being. Whether you’re seeking stress relief, personal growth, or community, our groups offer everyone a unique and welcoming environment. ## **Why Join?** * **Improve Mental & Physical Well-Being** – Movement, nature, and supportive conversations reduce stress and promote balance. * **Feel Less Alone** – Build genuine connections with like-minded people in a safe, welcoming space. * **Gain Clarity & Perspective** – Step outside daily routines and into a space designed for personal growth and reflection. ## **The Ideal Group Leader** The ideal group leader * Has a born-in passion for mental health, movement, connecting with nature and building community. * Has 5 extra hours per week to dedicate to a meaningful cause for at least one year. Yes, you can leave any organization at any time and we can also ask you to leave, but we are building with legacy in mind and we need people who can commit and be ALL IN on this mission to build with us. * Is independently financially stable with the ability to volunteer with no expectation of pay. This is a deeply beautiful journey of service that all participants commit to at Speak Your Mind. * An ability to manage groups with high emotional intelligence and desire for human connection. * An ability to self-motivate and market/promote their group on Facebook and other social platforms. * Nature informed therapy or clinical therapists/psychologists a plus. ## **Our Impact**  Since launching, we have helped thousands find support, connection, and healing through our Outdoor Movement Groups. 100% of participants surveyed have reported: * A noticeable improvement in mental clarity and emotional well-being. * An increase in social connection and a sense of belonging. * Said they would return again. We believe mental health should be accessible, community-driven, and rooted in nature. Join us and take the first step toward a more connected, grounded, and supported version of yourself. ### **Why Our Groups are Donation-Based** Our Outdoor Movement Groups are made possible through a donation-based model. This approach allows us to keep our events accessible to everyone, regardless of financial circumstances, while also ensuring that we can continue expanding our reach. It’s a great way to pay it forward and support the growth of this beautiful mission! Every contribution helps us: * **Cover Essential Costs** – Donations allow us to pay essential legal, marketing, insurance, and admin costs as well as nourish the important people who run the organization. * **Grow Our Mission** – With your support, we can bring these healing experiences to thousands more people in the future and execute our long term plan to expand across the USA, affecting up to 500,000 people per year. By choosing to contribute, you’re not just leading an event—you’re helping build a mental health movement that supports long-term well-being and connection for all during a severe mental health epidemic. ## **Come Join Us!** We’d love to have you be part of this growing community of people prioritizing their mental health, movement, and connection. 🔹 **Visit Our Website to Learn More:** https://speakyourmind.men/joinusoutside 🔹 **Apply Here to Lead Your Own Group!** – https://form.jotform.com/taketimespeakyourmind/sym-group-leader-application 🔹 **Support the mission**: If you resonate with the mission and want to support, feel free to join a group before applying or donate to help us reach our goals to help more people!
