In early 2024, I was inspired by the meetups organised by Robin and decided to volunteer with the organisation. That experience later influenced my choice to start the **EM Kata** meetups and the **SEML Community**.

I’m really excited that Robin has continued the **Architectural Kata** series — and even happier that we can now host a **joint event together**! We’ll tackle real design challenges together. We’ll dive straight into collaborative problem-solving, working through complex scenarios and discovering elegant patterns as a group. All as you love!

**❓ What is an Architectural Kata?**
Inspired by the concept of “Code Kata,” Architectural Katas are exercises that allow architects to practice their skills in a real-world scenario. It is similar to EM Kata, but about software architecture.
