**Do you like to make things? Would you like to use 3D software, lasercutter and 3D printing to help you make your idea?** TOG has an open evening to learn how CAD software and 3D fabrication tools can help you make your project. All you need to take part is your own laptop and some ideas on what you want to make. This is not a taught class, more like an informal working group of self-directed makers. We will be happy to help you explore how to use our 3D tools in designing and making your project whether you are a crafter, designer, engineer or hobbyist. Come and have a look at the tools in our space and get some ideas on how your project can be made.

Come along to get rid of the number one fear people have. Every week we have new members and people starting from scratch so you will not be alone. Everything is based around what you're comfortable with and you don't have to stand up, talk or do anything if you don't feel like it. But you will have the opportunity to speak at least 4/5 times a night. You can come along to see what we're doing and take part if you like. We will be running this for beginners every week and anyone is welcome to join us to learn and get better together. Hope to see you there :D We charge €5 to help towards the room rental.

These are our regular Monday evening electronics nights. Everyone from absolute beginner to experienced is welcome. These evenings are not classes or tutorials, rather a very friendly informal evening. We have a wide range of people who come. Some are absolute beginners who do not even work or study electronics, but are interested to know more. Others have something that they are already working on. We almost always have some first time visitors and we always give them a tour of the space. Come in with your Pi, Arduino, or whatever you have. Bring your laptop. Maybe you want to make something, solder, breadboard or use our electronic gear. Maybe you have some vague ideas and just want to get started. Or maybe you’re just curious……if so, it’s fine to come along and just see what others are doing. If you would like to get even more involved and have the full use of our space, we would be delighted to have you as a full member. Membership brings many benefits.

During that time I've read thousands of CVs, and watched people tie themselves in knots over things that probably don't matter as much as they think. Meanwhile, my cat has somehow developed a far healthier attitude to life. He knows his worth. He doesn't take rejection personally. He doesn't spend six months replaying an embarrassing moment in his head. He is persistent to the point of being annoying, and he has a remarkable ability to identify what he actually wants instead of what looks impressive. This talk uses questionable cat behaviour to explore some surprisingly useful lessons for job seekers, including confidence, persistence, networking, handling rejection, and figuring out what actually matters to you in a role. Perfect for students, graduates, career changers, job seekers, and anyone who's ever spent three days overthinking an interview answer. **Author:** **Rose Farrell** [[https://www.linkedin.com/in/roseirl/](https://www.linkedin.com/in/roseirl/)] [I've been a tech recruiter for 12 years and a massive nerd for much longer.

Most language exchanges are built around **movement**. —fast rotations, brief chats, surface-level conversation. New table. New person. Start again. It feels productive. It isn’t. Real conversations don’t happen in 10 minutes. They start there. Then they get interesting. At Flip Lingoes, **you stay.** Same table. Same group. Enough time for real conversation and real connection, beyond the surface level. Every 5 minutes, you switch roles: **fluent speaker ↔ learner**, not people. Before you arrive, **[create a profile here](https://www.fliplingoes.com/language-exchange-dublin/)**[,](https://www.fliplingoes.com/language-exchange-dublin/) tell us what language you're learning. This helps our **automated matching algorithm** put you in the right small group. No awkward searching. No guesswork. Simply scan the QR code on arrival and it automatically matches you with fluent speakers of your target language. We host events at Zanzibar Locke: calm, well-designed, easy to hear, easy to focus. *** **Event Flow** 6:45–7:15 → Seamless check-in (QR code, get matched, sit down) 7:15–8:30 → Language Exchange (structured, focused) 8:30 → Optional social + snacks included **Crispy chicken wings. Cheesy loaded nachos.** Straight from Zanzibar Locke’s kitchen. Perfect for chatting, relaxing, and refueling after a great language session. **Entry:** €8 (tasty snacks included) **Bundles:** 4 events €24 \| 10 events €50\, purchase [here](https://www.fliplingoes.com/language-exchange-dublin/?pricing_filter=in_person#bundles-section) in advance for express check in. Save time and money. It is expected that you support the venue and **purchase a drink upon arriva**l **Invite a friend for free:** It's simple. Create a profile [here](https://www.fliplingoes.com/language-exchange-dublin/), log in, and click “**Invite Friend** to sign up.” It generates a link and you send that to them. Easy and your friend will thank you later ;) If they register for the event before you, you both get free entry.🙌 **Why Flip Lingoes works:** * Go deeper: longer conversations at the same table * Speak with the right people via automated matching * Smooth, calm, focused environment * Fun social finish If you’re tired of restarting conversations and want to **actually speak beyond the greeting and small talk**, this is your place.

Monthly working lunch for Columbus business owners. One specific topic, one to three actions you can run this week. You can be the best at what you do and still be invisible. If local buyers cannot find you, the phone does not ring. Marketing Monday Lunch + Learn is a monthly working lunch for Columbus business owners focused on building relationships, local networking, and local marketing. Every kind of local business welcome. No pitch round, no pressure, no upsell. **This month** Most local businesses pick one or two places to be visible and call it good.

Order lunch and drinks at the cafe counter or bring your own. You get real conversation with other local owners and a focused marketing lesson. You leave knowing people and with one to three actions to run that week. The room is reserved through 1:30 PM. **Who this is for** Any local business owner who wants clearer marketing direction and real local relationships. Service businesses, retail, home services, professional services, online owners building local presence, anyone serious about being part of the Columbus business community. **Not the right fit if** You are here to pitch the room or recruit for an MLM. **Details** * Second Monday of every month * 12:00 to 1:30 PM * Good Cafe Easton, 4400 Easton Commons, Ste 150, Columbus, OH 43219 * Order lunch and drinks at the counter when you arrive * Free to attend, RSVP required, space is limited **About the host** Rita Suzanne is a local marketing strategist and the founder of Local Marketing Method.
