Curiosity Unleashed: The Deck Builder Challenge
*"The best questions aren't always the ones we're asked—they're the ones we create together."*
Usually, at a Curious Souls Café gathering, you arrive to find a carefully curated deck of questions waiting for you. This time, we are flipping the script: **you** are the conversation designer.
Every great discussion starts with a spark of curiosity. In this special interactive event, we aren't just answering questions; we are building the game from the ground up. We will split into small teams, pick our own unique themes, and use our [Deck Builder](https://curioussouls.cafe/tools/builder/) webapp to co-create custom decks with AI on the fly.
Will your team build a deck about navigating the modern workplace? A lighthearted round of nostalgic "What Ifs"? Or a deep dive into the unwritten rules of life? The direction of the night is entirely in your hands!
Bring your creativity, a collaborative spirit, and an open mind. Let's discover what happens when we unleash our collective curiosity.
**Inviting those who...**
🎨 Want to flex their creative muscles and design a conversation experience for others.
🤝 Enjoy collaborative team-building and bonding over shared ideas in a low-pressure setting.
📱 Are eager to test out a fun, interactive web tool to guide real-world connections.
🗣️ Hope to connect with kindred spirits in a judgment-free space where every voice shapes the night.
**📅 Agenda / What You'll Experience**
**💬 Phase 1: The Designer's Studio**
After a brief welcome, we will group into small teams. Using your smartphones, your team will decide on a topic and use our [Deck Builder](https://app.curioussouls.cafe/builder/about/) app (with the help of its AI Generator) to draft a custom deck of 5 to 10 meaningful questions.
**🎲 Phase 2: The Roll & Share**
Once the decks are built, the host will roll the virtual 3D dice to decide which person goes first. That person will generate a QR code directly on their screen. Everyone else simply scans their phone, and the game begins!
**💬 Phase 3: Prompted Conversations**
We will play through the winning person's custom deck, enjoying the unique flavor and perspective they brought to the table. After a while, we'll roll the dice again and scan the next person's QR code, rotating until everyone has had a chance to "host" a round. From there, we’ll embark on a respectful, engaging, and meaningful conversation, celebrating the diversity of perspectives and ideas within the group.
*Note: This session requires a smartphone per person to access the builder via a web link. If you do not have a device, don't worry—you can easily team up with someone who does or ask our facilitator for support!*
**💬 Final Thoughts and Feedback**
Where time allows, in the final 10 minutes of the event, we’ll take a moment to reflect on the key insights, memorable moments, and takeaways from our discussions. This is a chance to distill the shared wisdom and leave with a deeper understanding of the topics we’ve explored together.
After the event officially concludes, the group may choose to extend the session, depending on the group’s interest. To explore what our events are like, check out our official website at [https://curioussouls.cafe](https://curioussouls.cafe)
⚠️ **Content Guideline**: Because participants will be generating their own discussion prompts, we ask everyone to keep their questions respectful, inclusive, and appropriate for a diverse public setting. If your team uses the app's AI Generator, you'll notice an "Extra Empathy" filter is active by default—this is designed to shift the focus from "wounds to wisdom" and actively avoid heavy triggers. We encourage depth and curiosity, but please steer clear of overly sensitive, explicit, or hostile topics to maintain a safe space for all attendees.
📍 Location
City: Hong Kong
Address: Empire Centre, 68 Mody Road, Tsim Sha Tsui East
Inside the shopping mall of Empire Centre, there is a large open area dedicated to a café. We will sit at a round table or sofa inside (near a Hang Seng ATM or 7-Eleven store). Please look for the big words "Curious Souls Café" on our table.
If you take the MTR, the nearest station and exit will be East Tsim Sha Tsui Station (Exit P1). From there, you can walk to Empire Centre, which is just a few minutes away.

HKPUG #98 - Breaking Data: Mind the Data Gap 🚇
Date: 30 May 2026 (Sat)
Time: 15:30 - 18:00 \*HKT
Coordinator: Ming Tou, Alex Au
Light Refreshments will be available!
This is a **workshop** for Python Data Cleaning. Please bring along your laptop with **Python3 installed with enough battery**! *Winners will get a small prize as an accomplishment **in the next meetup**.*
**Due to the university entrance policy, we are currently closed for new university QR code entrance registration. Please feel free to join us by registering yourself under the university entrance counter!**
***Mind the Data Gap***
**This model will be delayed due to: missing values, outliers, and delimiter congestion.**
In this hands-on HKPUG workshop, we are turning a Python data cleaning exercise into a gamified team sprint.
You will work with a **synthetic Hong Kong-inspired transport dataset**. The data is messy on purpose: missing values, weird outliers, inconsistent categories, URL-encoded station names, confusing delimiters, and fields that look useless until you extract the hidden signal.
Your mission is simple:
**Clean the data. Extract better features. Run the scorer. Beat the model.**
You do not need to tune the model.
You need to **rescue the data**.
***How the Challenge Works***
Teams will write a Python data transformation script to clean and enrich the dataset.
Our scoring pipeline will then:
1. Run your transformation on the training and test data
2. Remove any label / target leakage columns
3. Train a fixed Gradient Boosting model
4. Evaluate the model using proxy metrics such as F1 and ROC-AUC
5. Convert the result into a data cleaning score
This is not meant to be a perfect data quality metric. It is an accessible proxy: if your **cleaning** and **feature extraction** help the **model perform better**, your team gets a better score.
**Capacity:** 60 (Team of 4)
**Venue Info:**
City University of Hong Kong, Kowloon Tong (Exact Location TBC)
**Rundown:**
**30th May**
**15:30 – 15:40** Opening Remarks, Team Formation & GitHub Setup

**16:20 – 17:10** Team Sprint Part 1: Missing Values, Outliers & Category Cleanup

**18:00 -** Networking outside City University
**13th June**
**\- 23:59** Winner Team Announcement

— Topic Details —
"Vibe-Coding an Internal PaaS on K8s in a Week" — Yinyin Chiu, Developer, Oursky Limited
AI agents turned every non-dev into a shipper of internal tools — but non-devs can't deploy on K8s, and deploying internal tools on public PaaS poses risk. So we gave ourselves 7 days to build SkyRocket: a self-hosted PaaS on our own K8s, gated behind Tailscale.
"Achieving CKA Certification" — Simon Sung, Kenfil
Simon is a highly accomplished professional with over 24 years of experience in I.T. consulting, recognized for expertise in server-side systems specializing in Kubernetes Cloud Native and VMware virtualization. He is a Linux Foundation Certified Kubernetes Instructor. Topics: 1) Introduction, 2) CKA Exam Structure, 3) What You Actually Need to Know, 4) How to Prepare Smartly, 5) Career Impact.

Ensuring Software Quality in the world of AI Developers - Matt Eland
**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.
