## **Workshop Schnittkonstruktion nach Maß: Bluse, Rock, Kleid** In diesem praxisnahen Workshop lernst Du Schritt für Schritt, Grundschnitte nach Maß für verschiedene Arten von Kleidern, Blusen und Röcken zu entwerfen und gezielt anpassen zu können. Dabei beschäftigst Du Dich mit unterschiedlichen Silhouetten, vielfältigen Ausschnitt- und Ärmelvarianten sowie variablen Rocklängen. Der Kurs vermittelt Dir nicht nur die Grundlagen, sondern zeigt Dir auch, wie Du Schnitte individuell an verschiedene Körperformen und -größen anpassen kannst. Auf diese Weise erhältst Du ein umfassendes Verständnis für die kreative und technische Seite der Schnittkonstruktion nach Maß. Darüber hinaus wirst Du anhand ausgewählter Beispiele die erstellten Grundschnitte weiterentwickeln und sie zu konkreten Modellschnitten ausarbeiten. Diese überträgst Du anschließend in Nessel, um Deine Entwürfe sichtbar zu machen und die Passform in der Praxis zu überprüfen. Ein zentrales Hilfsmittel im Kurs ist die speziell skalierte Schablone, auf der die komplexe Geometrie der Körpermaße bereits kodifiziert ist. Mit ihrer Unterstützung lassen sich perfekt passende Grundschnitte schnell, präzise und ohne komplizierte Berechnungen erstellen. Dadurch sparst Du Zeit und gewinnst Sicherheit in der Umsetzung Deiner Ideen. ## **Inhalte des Workshops:** * Maßnehmen und Körpersilhouetten richtig verstehen * Erstellung von Oberteilgrundschnitten mit und ohne Abnäher nach Deinen Maßen * Entwicklung von Kragenschnitten und Varianten * Weiterentwicklung des Oberteilgrundschnittes für zwei Blusen * Erstellung eines Rockgrundschnittes nach individuellen Maßen * Weiterentwicklung des Rockgrundschnittes für zwei unterschiedliche Röcke * Erstellung eines Kleidergrundschnittes nach Deinen Maßen * Weiterentwicklung des Kleidergrundschnittes für ein individuelles Kleid * Fertigung ausgewählter Grundschnitte in Nessel (ohne Saum, Futter etc.) Mit diesem Workshop erhältst Du eine solide Grundlage, um Dein Wissen im Bereich der Schnittgestaltung zu vertiefen und gleichzeitig Deine Kreativität praktisch umzusetzen. **Lineale und das Georechteck zur Methode werden für die Dauer des Kurses gegen eine Pfandgebühr von 75 € zur Verfügung gestellt. Auf Wunsch können sie auch käuflich erworben werden. Die Einzahlung ist bar oder per PayPal möglich.** Anfallende Materialkosten (ca. 15,– € für Nesselstoff, Klebeband + Schnittpapier) werden direkt mit der Dozentin verrechnet, eine Materialliste wird vor Kursbeginn verschickt. Der Kurs richtet sich an alle, die sich mit Mode befassen und den Prozess der Schnittentwicklung kennenlernen oder vertiefen möchten. Du solltest dafür grundlegende Erfahrungen im Nähen haben. **Kursinformation** Anmeldung: https://lette-akademie.de/kurse/schnittkonstruktion-nach-mass/ Termine: Do., 12.

The Language Café is primarily aimed at people who are struggling with their mental health which can make it hard to go to regular courses. We want to create a safe space for everyone to learn and practise without pressure. Everyone is welcome! Please try to be on time so we can all get started together :) We mainly practise on a beginner/lower intermediate level and adapt to everyone's prior level of German. The Language Café will focus on teaching you the most important words and phrases and basic grammar in German. The content of the course is adapted to real life. (everyday life in Germany, dealing with authorities, etc.) We will cover different topics every week and you can join us anytime, since the topics do not necessarily build on each other. The Sprachcafé is for free. \*If you cannot make it please cancel your participation so someone else from the waiting list can join, thank you!\* \| \| \| \|

Our friend **Dmitri Katz**, a 10 years+ long time friend and huge supporter of **STEM4Health**, **G4A**, **Digital Health**, and every **Innovation in Healthcare**, is organizing this event. I highly recommend to attend. Please register at https://luma.com/m47avlhj. AI is offering new opportunities to address persistent, high-impact societal challenges. In domains where social and human stakes are high, practical value will depend not only on technical performance, but on how well AI systems are aligned with ethical, institutional, and operational realities. Addressing this need requires sustained, cross-disciplinary collaboration grounded in real-world practice. To this end, **ÆTHOS Berlin** is building an interdisciplinary community of founders, researchers, practitioners, domain experts, and policymakers. ​In this workshop, we will discuss real-world care challenges and the constraints that shape responsible AI use. Participants are invited to contribute practical perspectives. ​**What we aim to produce:** ​The workshop will produce Challenge Briefs: short documents that describe (a) a concrete care problem, (b) its real-world impact, and (c) the key institutional, ethical, and practical constraints involved. Where it emerges naturally, the briefs may also note open directions for work, such as further research or approaches for AI implementation. The briefs will be published publicly after the event and shared as reference material for future research and innovation. ​**Workshop format (2 hours):** * ​Short, problem‑focused inputs from care‑domain experts, early‑stage startups, and other workshop attendees. * ​Small, mixed working groups * ​Each group drafts one brief using a simple structure: Problem · Impact · Constraints · Directions * ​Sharing and discussion ​**Why your participation matters:** * ​Help ensure that actual constraints shape how AI problems are defined * ​Bring institutional, ethical, and operational realities into the discussion early * ​Contribute to challenge definitions that shape the community’s future focus * ​Be acknowledged as a contributing participant in this first workshop ​ **What participation could involve:** * ​Share a real-world care‑domain challenge * ​Contributing to the drafting group * ​Bring a laptop if possible. ​This is an ÆTHOS community initiative. Participants are welcome to share what they are working on, but the focus will remain on problem framing rather than product pitching. If you have questions or would like to help with the workshop, please let us know. Warm Regards, Dmitri Katz ÆTHOS Initiative team [dmitrikatz23@gmail.com](mailto:dmitrikatz23@gmail.com) Place: Æthos Station, 3rd Floor, Lohmühlenstraße 65, Kreuzberg, Berlin

A gentle group experience to calm the nervous system, reconnect to the body, and restore presence. No prior experience required. Many of us carry stress, overwhelm, or disconnection in the body — especially after a busy year. This session offers a grounded, calming group experience that supports nervous system regulation, embodied presence, and felt ease — held in a small group of up to 8 people. This is about coming back into your body with safety and comfort, not performance or intensity. A gentle space to slow down, release stress, and reconnect with yourself. No experience needed — simply show up as you are. Each session combines grounding, breath, somatic awareness, and subtle energetic work, supporting a deeper sense of calm and inner presence. 💫 What you may experience ✔ grounding and centering ✔ nervous system relaxation ✔ somatic awareness ✔ gentle energetic support ✔ emotional release ✔ deep rest ✔ connection with your inner space ✨ This is for you if… – you feel stressed, anxious, or overwhelmed – you feel disconnected from your body – you are in a period of transition – you are curious about energy work (in a gentle, grounded way) – you want to relax and reset 🧘 What happens during the session We begin with grounding and breath, followed by guided awareness and a gentle group energetic transmission. You mostly rest, breathe, and notice — there is nothing you need to do or achieve. 🌀 Benefits people often report – calmer mind – emotional relief – improved body awareness – clarity or insight – feeling lighter – deeper rest or sleep 📍 Location Osmos Studio – Neukölln Okerstraße 38, Berlin 🎟 Tickets Standard: 25 € 🤍 Beginners welcome No prior experience required.

**Agentic AI Engineering Lab (Tech Event, Sprint #1)** **\- Build a Production\-Ready MCP Server** **Move from prompting to architecting** The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an emerging open standard for connecting AI apps/agents to real tools and data sources. This session is not a talk — it’s a hands-on lab where we build MCP servers that can be tested immediately with an MCP-capable client (e.g., Claude Desktop / your preferred agent setup). **The Format** We are planning a series of agentic ai tech meetings for deep building. This event may be attended alone or be seen as part / sprint of the event series with upcoming events building on top of what we build here. This is a high-density micro-meetup limited to 6 seats. We prioritize builders: bring your laptop, ship code, and be ready to 'build and break' alongside other devs and engineers. **Future Sessions building on top may focus on ...** RAG systems, advanced MCP features, A2A, multi-agent workflows, production deployment Patterns or whatever we feel nice to build next. (We run our sessions like an anthology series: **Every meetup is a standalone sprint.** While we often build on previous results, each session provides a complete experience and remains fully accessible to first-time attendees.) **What you'll build** After a quick alignment on the technical scope, the floor is yours: build your solution using the stack and tools that fit your workflow. We provide the framework; you provide the execution. By the end, you’ll have a working MCP server (Python or TypeScript) with at least one real tool/resource, tested end-to-end. **Ideas: Choose one track (or bring own idea if it fits the scope)** **For Beginners (Foundational)** * Personal knowledge server (local files/notes) * Weather / external API integration * GitHub issues helper **Intermediate** * SQLite query interface * Slack/Discord notification tool * CSV/Excel analyzer **Advanced** * Multi-API aggregator (e.g., calendar + weather + tasks) * Document processor (PDF/DOCX parsing) * Lightweight system monitoring/control **Schedule (Saturaday, 10:00 - 15:00 CET)** * **10:00–10:30 — Foundations + Live Demo** Quick run through general MCP architecture (hosts/clients/servers), core primitives (tools/resources/prompts), basic patterns in order to get everybody on the same page. * **10:30–11:00 — Environment Sync** We wanna make sure everyone can run a “Hello World” MCP server (Python or TypeScript). * **11:00–12:45 — Build Sprint (Lab Time)** Implement your server + first tool/resource. Pair-debugging encouraged. * **12:45–13:00 — Break (Pizza/Snacks)** * **13:00–13:30 — Test & Iterate** Use MCP Inspector / your client to test, fix edge cases, tighten tool contracts. * **13:30–15:00 — Demos + Technical Teardown** Quick demos, what broke, what worked, and what we’ll harden in the next sprint. **Prerequisites (Please Read)** * You’re comfortable shipping small things in your preferred dev language and tools (e.g. Python, TypeScript/Node.js). * **Bring your laptop** + basic dev setup (Git, package manager). * Have access to an LLM client / API (Claude/OpenAI/etc.). * This is a lab for engineers, not a tutorial. We solve architectural problems together, but you are the master of your own dev environment. * **Mindset:** Build, Break & Iterate — broken code is welcome, passivity isn’t. **Logistics** * **Location:** Our private boardroom in the Grunewald area (near Martin-Luther Hospital). The exact address will be shared after RSVP. * **Capacity:** 6 seats (first come, first served; deposit required) **Commitment Deposit and No-Show / Late-Show** This meetup is strictly non-profit. To respect everyone’s time and ensure all 6 seats are utilized by committed builders, a €15 deposit is required. * **The Deal:** The deposit covers high-quality pizza, snacks, and drinks. Any surplus will be refunded to you via your original payment method after the event. * **Punctuality is Key:** We start at **10:00 sharp** with the technical foundations (door open from 09:45). To protect the group’s focus, late arrivals or no-shows will not be eligible for a refund. Their deposit will be fully contributed to the community's pizza & snack fund. * **Cancellations:** No refunds for cancellations within 24 hours of the start time.

The next **Pitch and Planning Session** will be on **Feb 15th at 19:00.** We are super looking forward to hearing your pitches and watching you meet people ready to help you make your films a reality in the really real world! 📍The event is located at **House of Music** in RAW Gelande, Revalerstr 99, 10245 Berlin . A very large and amazing space that we are now calling home. For those who are new, our Pitch and Planning Session is a monthly English language event held here in Berlin for people who have an idea for a film and would like to pitch it, as well as those people who are eager to work on films. It's all about getting films made. If you have a film idea that is burning a hole in your brain, tell the people in the audience your story idea and hopefully you will meet people who can help you make your idea into a reality! This event is also for people who want to help out in all aspects of filmmaking to help make these pitches happen. So if your passion is camera, sound, hair and makeup, writing, lighting, fighting, or anything that could help, you are always welcome. Whether you're new to filmmaking or experienced and want to work on something cool and creative, no matter what your area of expertise/interest is, this is for you! Be sure to show up to either pitch your idea or be ready to listen to some interesting pitches from excited people and potentially help someone make their film. Let's make some cool shit! If you still want more information you can head on over to our website: *https://berlinfilmcommunity.com/pitch_and_planning/* I have been a part of making some of these pitched projects into real world movies and I have always had a blast.

I love my job and one of the main things I do is help customers get going with any of the data technologies at Microsoft. Right now there are a lot of my customers asking about Microsoft Fabric. It's hard to weave across all the shiny new options across the Fabric landscape, let alone figure out where it fits into your organization. In this session we'll focus on answering one question - how can I get data into Fabric? We'll talk through the "it depends" options and see some of the options in live demos.

Dale Gnidovec, Curator of the Orton Hall Museum of Geology at The Ohio State University, will be presenting a program he has wanted to share with us for a long time: Plate Tectonics. His description of his program: Continents on the move - Nothing in Earth history makes sense without moving continents - it tells us why mountains, volcanoes, minerals, and fossils are where they are. This talk examines the evidence for continental drift, why it was disbelieved, and explains how the more-encompassing theory of plate tectonics was developed and eventually proven. Dale is an energetic, incredibly knowledgeable, and very entertaining speaker and this will be another wonderful program by Dale. Hope to see you there! Food and drinks will be provided at the event. Feel free to show up a little bit early to hang out and talk. Going forward our meetings will be hybrid.
