Como conseguir capitalizar sua empresa/ideia sem ter que investir nela.
O workflow com IA que funciona fora da demo
Nesse workshop você vai ver o fluxo completo de desenvolvimento com IA sendo executado do zero: como estruturar contexto antes de fazer qualquer pedido, como iterar em passos pequenos sem perder o controle, como usar TDD para não depender da sorte, e como revisar código que você não escreveu mas vai assinar. Duas horas. Mãos na massa. Sem slide de "boas práticas", você vai ver as boas práticas funcionando ou falhando em tempo real.
Meetup #01 — Kiro no Teclado
Meetup 01 — Kiro no Teclado: App Pronto Mais Rápido que o Morango Chegar na Feira
Nesta palestra com demonstrações práticas, Flávio Pimenta
mostra como o Kiro — o assistente de IA da AWS para
desenvolvedores — funciona no dia a dia de quem trabalha com
tecnologia. Através de demos ao vivo, a audiência acompanha a
ferramenta em ação: gerando código, criando testes, produzindo
documentação e interagindo de forma inteligente com o desenvolvedor.
A sessão aborda como integrar IA no fluxo de desenvolvimento real, o
papel insubstituível do profissional na validação do que a IA entrega, e
por que quem domina essas ferramentas está se destacando no
mercado.

Ceramics and Talk - Feat. Formiga Ateliê
Celebrate the people who became part of your story while you paint your own ceramic piece!
In a world where so many of our conversations happen through screens, some connections still feel deeply real.
A best friend.
A partner.
A person who was there at the right time.
Someone who changed the way you see life, love, friendship, or yourself.
This collab between Walk and Talk and Formiga Ateliê is a 3-hour ceramics and English conversation experience.
While you paint your own ceramic mug, you’ll be guided through meaningful English conversation prompts about the important relationships in your life: how they started, how they grew, what made them last, and why they still matter.
In the end you can keep your piece as a personal memory or give it as a gift to the person who inspired it.
This is not just a ceramics class.
It is a moment to slow down, disconnect from your phone, remember, create, and celebrate someone meaningful.
The experience includes:
- 3-hour guided ceramics experience
- Breakfast/brunch
- 1 Mug
- Paints, brushes, tools, and everything you need to create your piece
Technical assistance
The Formiga Ateliê team will provide you with a crash course in portuguese just so things are crystal clear on how to handle the materials and paint your ceramic piece successfully and in the way you want
Finishing and lacquering
After the experience, your piece will be finished, lacquered, cured, and tempered by the studio
Participants will be able to retrieve their pieces up to 30 days later.
Even though the pieces are always ready before the 30 day deadline we ask for this timeframe because the ceramic pieces need to go through the proper finishing process at a separate ceramics studio
IMPORTANT DETAIL
Investment: R$300 per perso
Duration: 3 hour
Language: All interactions will be in English except maybe for some technical explanations if participants have any specific questions about techniques and processes
Spots: Limited to 12 participant
Included piece: 1 mug per participan
There will also be other ceramic pieces available at the studio in different formats and price ranges. Participants can choose to paint extra pieces, which will be charged separately

* HOW IT WORKS
A Clube Poliglota event is a meeting in which people speak different languages. It flows quite spontaneously, even when participants are not acquainted. The group is always open to newcomers so if you want to join us, all you have to do is showing up! :-) We'll welcome and introduce you to your peers who will be chatting in a language you wish to speak.
Meet new people, share life experiences and the most important, have fun!
We hope to see you there!!!

May Book Club Meetup
Welcome, readers!
Our May read is **_Kindred_ by Octavia E. Butler.**
The story follows Dana, a Black woman living in 1976 California, who is suddenly pulled back to a Maryland plantation before the Civil War. She learns her survival is tied to a white slaveholder’s son. Forced to move between centuries, she must endure the brutal realities of slavery while fighting to hold on to her identity. Tense, intimate, and unforgettable, Kindred explores how the past refuses to stay buried.
Looking forward to discussing with everyone!
We will meet at Zaftig Brewing Co in their event room in the back. We are welcome to bring in our own food, but **drinks must be purchased at the bar.**
Happy reading! 📖

Book summary:
On a hot day in Bethlehem, a twelve-year-old Palestinian-American girl is yelled at by a group of men outside the Church of the Nativity. She has exposed her legs in a biblical city, an act they deem forbidden, and their judgement will echo on through her adolescence. When our narrator finally admits to her mother that she is queer, her mother's response only intensifies a sense of shame: 'You exist too much,' she tells her daughter. Told in vignettes that flash between the U.S. and the Middle East--from New York to Jordan, Lebanon, and Palestine--Zaina Arafat's debut novel traces her protagonist's progress from blushing teen to sought-after DJ and aspiring writer.
Sharp Objects - Gillian Flynn
Join us for Sharp Objects by Gillian Flynn!
Fresh from a brief stay at a psych hospital, reporter Camille Preaker faces a troubling assignment: she must return to her tiny hometown to cover the unsolved murder of a preteen girl and the disappearance of another. For years, Camille has hardly spoken to her neurotic, hypochondriac mother or to the half-sister she barely knows: a beautiful thirteen-year-old with an eerie grip on the town. Now, installed in her old bedroom in her family's Victorian mansion, Camille finds herself identifying with the young victims—a bit too strongly.
Dogged by her own demons, she must unravel the psychological puzzle of her own past if she wants to get the story-and survive this homecoming.
