**Presentations:**
In this session we will have two presentations from:
* **Talk 1 - "When QA Meets AI Everywhere" by [Katerina Kairo](https://www.linkedin.com/in/katerina-kairo-b3223546/)**
"AI is reshaping how we build and test software—and quality professionals are right at the center of this shift. In this talk, we explore how modern AI—from Narrow to Super AI—changes the testing landscape and introduces new methods like adversarial testing, data‑poisoning checks, and back‑to‑back validation. Grounded in ISTQB concepts and personal learning reflections, the session highlights how testers can stay relevant, skilled, and ethical in a world where AI is everywhere."
* **Talk 2 - "Why as Developer I Am Blind to Bugs" by [Tatu Aalto](https://www.linkedin.com/in/tatu-aalto/)**
"I have long history of testing and I have moved from testing to test automation and now days I am mostly happy to call my self as a developer in testing. During these transitions I have lost some of my testing skills and I have stated make certain type of bugs in my projects. As a developer, I have come blind to some user perspective features. This is story of what mistakes I have done in my projects, why I now understand my developers colleagues better and what I have done to regain my past knowledge as a tester. When I have got know my tester side again better, it has helped me to write better code and make less bugs in my projects. In this story I hope to educate my colleagues why making mistakes is human and what I have done to avoid those mistakes."
**Warmly welcoming you all again,**

Through Our Lens - photography group!
Welcome to our new photography group!
This is an ongoing gathering for **Through Our Lens**, an ongoing empowerment photography and community storytelling workshop at MIITTI, Lapinlahden Lähde.
These sessions are **for those who are considering joining the regular weekly group.** You’ll always have space to ask questions and decide whether you’d like to participate.
**: About commitment :**
This is a process-based workshop series that builds over time. While life situations can change, we ask participants to join with the intention of attending sessions regularly and taking part in the shared group process.
The quality of the workshops depends on mutual presence, respect, and continuity within the group.
**:Through Our Lens:**
Through Our Lens is a community-focused photography series combining empowerment photography, identity exploration, and creative storytelling. Using only everyday mobile phones, participants learn to notice, capture, and express their personal experiences through images.
The project aims to:
* Create meaningful social connections.
* Strengthen cross-cultural understanding
* Support integration through shared creative expression
* Empower migrants and refugees to tell their own stories
* Build community through participatory arts practices
Grounded in the principles of empowerment photography, the project centres participants as authors of their own narratives.
Through workshops, storytelling exercises, and a community exhibition, participants reflect on their daily life, belonging, hopes, roots, identities, and experiences of belonging.
Finally, with the help of reflective sharing circles, and a small exhibition, participants share these themes with other participants and to the public.
**: WHEN**:
The group have begin with meetings on 10th of February and continue until mid-March. In between the meetings, there will be individual work based on the prompts presented during the groups. Registration is mandatory.

Board Games at Arkade (Thursday)
Pay the **5 € board gaming fee** to the bar at the counter when you arrive. You must be at least 18 years old to enter [Arkade](https://www.arkade.fi/). We play in English and the game rules are taught before starting play, unless everyone is already familiar with the game. No previous experience with board gaming required. Despite our RSVP numbers here on Meetup, we almost always have at least 20 people participating weekly.
The venue has a great board game library, the host and other players usually bring their own games too: our selection varies weekly. We're a very casual group so you're welcome to arrive early or late and join whatever game is starting up, there is no attendance tracking, or welcoming process.
The bar has alcoholic drinks, mocktails, and soft drinks available as well as some snack foods. They've been okay with people ordering food to the bar with meal delivery services.
If you are feeling sick, please stay home.
