The language of this workshop is Hungarian. A program a **Budapest Accessibility Meetup**, a **UX Budapest** és az **Appy** közös szervezésű eseménye. **Volt már olyan akadálymentesítési kérdésed, amiről érezted, hogy nem vagy vele egyedül – mégis egyedül kellett volna megoldanod?** Az idei első akadálymentes workshopon szándékosan **nem jelöltünk ki előre témát**. Helyette teret adunk azoknak a dilemmáknak, elakadásoknak és félkész gondolatoknak, amelyekkel sokan küzdünk – UX-ben, fejlesztésben, tartalomkészítésben, HR-ben vagy termékfejlesztésben dolgozva. Ezúttal **te is hozhatsz témát**: egy konkrét esettől kezdve egy nehezen megfogalmazható kérdésig bármit, ami akadálymentességgel kapcsolatos. A helyszínen közösen választunk, majd beszélgetéssel és csoportmunkával próbáljuk megérteni a problémát, több nézőpontból ránézni, és **együtt megoldásokat keresni**. **Időpont:** 2026.01.07. Szerda, 16:00 **Helyszín:** Appy iroda (1061 Budapest, Nyugati tér 1. 6. em.) **Facilitátorok:** * **Daniss-Bodó Eszter -** ux designer, accessibility advocate (Blue) * **Nagy Árpád -** lead ux designer, akadálymentességi szakértő (OTP) * **Klein Péter -** design strategist & leadership advisor (Blue) * **Szántai Károly -** tanúsított web akadálymentességi szakértő, szakoktató Ez a workshop nem arról szól, hogy „megmondjuk a tutit”. Arról szól, hogy felismerjük: sokan vagyunk ugyanabban a cipőben, és **együtt könnyebb jó kérdéseket feltenni, irányt találni, továbbindulni**. Az esemény ajánlott mindazoknak, akik: * akadálymentességgel foglalkoznak vagy szeretnének tudatosabban foglalkozni vele, * már találkoztak komplex, nem egyértelmű helyzetekkel, * hisznek abban, hogy a közös gondolkodás valódi előrelépést hozhat. Új év, új kérdések – és egy közösség, ahol nem kell egyedül válaszokat keresned. **Csatlakozz, hozd el a témád – vagy csak a kíváncsiságod.** **RSVP** Kérjük, használd az RSVP-t! Ha bármilyen okból nem tudsz eljönni, kérjük, frissítsd foglalásodat, hogy más számára felszabaduljon a hely. **A helyszín akadálymentessége:** A helyszín akadálymentes. Lift és akadálymentes mosdó található az épületben. Segítőkutyádat természetesen szeretettel várjuk. **Fotózás** Készíts te is fotókat, és töltsd fel ide az eseményhez. Örökítsük meg együtt eseményeinket. **Van Meetup ötleted?** Folyamatosan szeretnénk javítani eseményeinket a te hozzájárulásoddal is. Ha van egy téma a fejedben, vagy ha szeretnéd, hogy a céged szponzoráljon egy eseményt, esetleg segítenél a szervezésben, jelezd nekünk.

*"If you crush a cockroach, you're a hero; if you crush a beautiful butterfly, you're a villain. Morals have aesthetic criteria*" Friedrich Nietzsche “*Art is not about itself but the attention we bring to it.*” Marcel Duchamp We all make aesthetic judgments constantly. About people, brands, things, cities, food, rituals. Is it a matter of just “taste”? Is it refinement through traing or education? Aesthetics is not just decoration. It’s a value system. It shapes desire, identity, what we trust, and the very meaning of things. This session is not about “what’s beautiful”. It’s about **where does beauty come from, why it is so influential to our lives**, **how it** **defines or even shapes so many things.** You dont need to be an expert in art or fashion, but expect different points of view. If everyone agrees, the session probably failed. **Session Outline** 1. **Introductions (10 minutes)** Please bring an object (can be an image in your mobile) of something that you consider beatiful. Can also be a passage of a literary work, or concept, etc. 2. **Background on Aesthetics by Philospher Erik Hallay** **(20 minutes approx.)** Erik will give a short intro about the definition, history, and implications of aesthetics. 3. **Some questions that we will explore for the rest of the session:** **(1 hour and 30 minutes)** 4. Are we born with good taste, or do we learn it? Is beauty a social construct? 5. Can something ugly be beatiful and viceversa? 6. Can universal aesthetic standards exist? 7. Can art exist without an audience? 8. Does beauty have an evolutionary advantage? 9. Does desire shape aesthetics, or aesthetics shape desire? 10. Do you dress for yourself or for social acceptance? 11. Can beauty be a moral statement? 12. Should art comfort, disturb, or train perception? 13. Can AI generated art carry aesthetic value? 14. Does art lose value when it becomes easily reproducible? 15. Is originality overrated? 16. If aesthetics disappeared tomorrow, what would we lose first—joy, meaning, or hierarchal references? 17. Should artists be morally accountable for their work? 18. What are the boundaries between art and design? 19. Why do we put more attention into protecting beautiful species but ignore ugly ones? **RSVP:** Please confirm your attendance on Meetup to make sure we have enough space. Consider donating from 400 HUF to keep the costs of the meetup.

Bring your Raspberry Pi, Arduino, microcontroller, or any other electronic project and join fellow electronics makers for a night of creativity and collaboration! This session is open forum to share your current projects—whether complete or in progress, it’s all interesting! Whether you’re deep into embedded systems, exploring new ideas, or just getting started, you’ll find a welcoming space to collaborate, share, and get inspired. I've been hardware hacking a See N Say to make it say whatever I want - while the project is in progress still, it should be working by this meetup! I'll bring it for demo. [See N Say Project](https://github.com/cdeever/esp32-see-n-say) While we continue to pursue a more permanent venue for this Meetup, we’ll be using public library facilities based on availability. This session will be at the Worthington Park Library in the Olentangy Meeting Room.

**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 **Abstract** GitHub Copilot is rapidly changing how developers write, understand, and maintain code. Powered by generative AI and deeply integrated into modern development environments, Copilot acts as an intelligent coding assistant, helping developers move faster while maintaining quality and focus. In this session, we’ll explore what GitHub Copilot is, how it works, and where it fits into a real-world developer workflow. We’ll break down what Copilot can (and cannot) do, where it can be used, and how licensing differs for individuals and organizations. Most importantly, this talk goes beyond theory with a live, hands-on demo showcasing Copilot inside the IDE and on GitHub, demonstrating how it can assist with code generation, refactoring, learning new APIs, and accelerating day-to-day development tasks. Designed for developers, technical leads, and engineering managers, this session provides a practical introduction to AI-assisted development, highlights best practices for getting value from Copilot, and closes with guidance on how to continue learning and evolving alongside this rapidly advancing tool. Attendees will leave with a clear understanding of how GitHub Copilot can enhance productivity, improve developer experience, and fit into modern software teams today, not someday. **YouTube Link** TBA

Columbus Code & Coffee is an inclusive, informal co-working session. People of all skill levels attend, and we love it that way.

If none, that's cool too. Round 3: * Job opportunities you're hiring for OR announce that you are looking for one. If none, that's cool. After the introduction circle, everything is self-organized! Feel free to work alone, pair up, attend one of our workshops/presentations, or mingle!

Private Group. Closed to the Public Knowing ourselves and understanding our abilities is the first step toward wielding our gifts with control and accuracy. In subsequent classes we will verify and hone our talents with activities and discussion. These are hands-on workshops and participation is expected. The goal of our series will be to develop expertise in areas of particular interest such as mediumship, channeling, divination, healing and, etc.. Our ultimate directions will be determined by class members as we evolve. I look forward to sharing and discovering with you. - Cynthia

This meetup is a collaborative Unity workshop focused on real projects and shared problem-solving.

Learning happens by doing, asking questions, and helping each other. **What to Expect:** * Bring-your-own Unity project (any level) * Group discussion and peer feedback * Debugging, optimization, and workflow problem-solving * Shared tips, best practices, and practical solutions Example projects may include games, tools, or prototypes—personal or professional.
