Im Punch Needle Workshop verwandelst du einfache Fäden in ein einzigartiges Kunstwerk. Punch Needle ist eine moderne und zugleich entspannende Sticktechnik, bei der mit einer speziellen Nadel Schlaufen in den Stoff gestochen werden. So entstehen strukturierte, weiche Oberflächen und ausdrucksstarke Muster. Der Workshop ist ideal, um Punch Needle kennenzulernen, kreativ abzuschalten oder in kurzer Zeit etwas Schönes mit den eigenen Händen zu erschaffen – ganz ohne Vorkenntnisse. Zu Beginn des Workshops erhältst du eine kurze Einführung in die Grundlagen der Punch-Needle-Technik. Ich zeige dir Schritt für Schritt, wie die Nadel richtig verwendet wird, wie du den Faden führst und gleichmäßige Schlaufen erzeugst. Du lernst, worauf du achten musst, damit dein Motiv sauber und stabil wird. Die ruhige, gleichmäßige Bewegung macht Punch Needle besonders entspannend und perfekt für eine kreative Auszeit vom Alltag. Im Workshop kannst du zwischen zwei kreativen Optionen wählen: Option 1 – Motiv sticken (29 CHF) Du wählst ein bestehendes (oder eigenes) Motiv und stickst dieses ohne Hintergrund. Diese Option ist ideal für Einsteiger\*innen oder alle, die Punch Needle unkompliziert ausprobieren möchten. Der Fokus liegt ganz auf der Technik und dem Motiv selbst. Hier kannst du dein Werk in eine Untertasse verwandeln. Option 2 – Motiv mit Hintergrund (35 CHF) Hier stickst du dein Motiv inklusive Hintergrund. Dadurch erhält dein Werk mehr Tiefe und eine besonders schöne, flächige Struktur. Diese Option eignet sich für alle, die ihr Kunstwerk etwas aufwendiger gestalten möchten. Hier kannst du dein Werk auch in eine Untertasse verwandeln, oder als Deko aufhängen. Die maximale Workshopdauer beträgt bis zu 1 Stunde. Je nach Tempo und Design kannst du dein Werk in dieser Zeit fertigstellen oder einen grossen Teil davon umsetzen. Während des gesamten Workshops begleite ich dich persönlich, gebe Tipps und unterstütze dich bei Fragen oder Unsicherheiten. Alles darf, nichts muss – wichtig ist, dass du Freude am Prozess hast. Alle Materialien sind inklusive. Du arbeitest mit hochwertigen Garnen in verschiedenen Farben, Stoff, Rahmen und Punch Needle. Du musst nichts mitbringen – ausser Lust auf Kreativität. Dein gesticktes Werk kannst du am Ende direkt mit nach Hause nehmen, sei es als Dekoration, Geschenk oder persönliches Erinnerungsstück. Wenn du Lust hast, etwas Neues zu entdecken, kreativ zu entspannen und in kurzer Zeit ein eigenes Kunstwerk zu gestalten, ist dieser Punch Needle Workshop genau das Richtige für dich. 🧶✨

Der Decoden Workshop bietet dir die Möglichkeit, in eine verspielte und kreative Welt einzutauchen und deine eigenen Decoden-Charms und Accessoires zu gestalten. Decoden ist eine dekorative Technik, bei der mit einer cremigen Leimmasse, Farben und süßen Charms gearbeitet wird. Dabei entstehen einzigartige Designs, die sowohl kreativ als auch individuell sind. Dieser Workshop eignet sich perfekt für alle, die etwas Neues ausprobieren und mit wenig Aufwand tolle Ergebnisse erzielen möchten. Im Decoden Workshop kannst du verschiedene Gegenstände nach deinem eigenen Stil gestalten. Zur Auswahl Bilderrahmen Etuis Handspiegel & Tischspiegel Schmuckkästchen Haarklammer Du entscheidest selbst, welches Objekt du dekorieren möchtest und wie verspielt, farbenfroh oder minimalistisch dein Design ausfallen soll. Jedes Werk ist ein Unikat und spiegelt deine persönliche Kreativität wider. Pro Gegenstand benötigst du etwa 15 bis 30 Minuten, je nach Detailgrad und Design. Dadurch eignet sich der Workshop sowohl für kurze kreative Pausen als auch für längere Bastelzeiten. Du kannst auch mehrere Objekte nacheinander gestalten, wenn du Lust hast, verschiedene Designs auszuprobieren. Der Preis startet ab 29 CHF pro Gegenstand. Im Preis enthalten sind eine Farbe und 20 Charms. Alle Materialien stehen für dich bereit, sodass du nichts mitbringen musst. Du kannst direkt loslegen und dich ganz auf das kreative Arbeiten konzentrieren. Wenn du zusätzliche Farben oder Charms verwenden möchtest, kannst du diese flexibel ergänzen. Auch Anfänger\*innen sind herzlich willkommen. Du brauchst keinerlei Vorkenntnisse, um am Decoden Workshop teilzunehmen. Ich erkläre dir Schritt für Schritt, wie die Technik funktioniert, wie du den Leim richtig aufträgst und wie du deine Charms platzierst, damit dein Design harmonisch wirkt. Während des gesamten Workshops stehe ich dir mit Tipps und Unterstützung zur Seite.

Our goal is simple: - have fun playing together - improve step by step - meet new people - enjoy sports during the summer and beyond

Accessibility often feels overwhelming with all its guidelines, standards and edge cases. But in practice, meaningful improvements don’t require perfection. They require empathy and a sincere motivation to create a truly usable experience for all. In this talk, we share real learnings from UX and UI projects: what actually made a difference, where teams struggled, and how small, deliberate changes created a much more inclusive experience. You’ll walk away with a practical mindset and actionable ideas to start improving accessibility in your own projects — without waiting for the “perfect” solution.

**Sponsored by:** ***\- ACP*** ***\- TD SYNNEX*** ***\- Technopark Winterthur*** **Partner-led and partner-branded by**: ***Microsoft*** Speakers: * Firas Cheaib (ACP) – When Models Become the Commodity * Victor Chibotaru(LogicStar AI) – Shipping Faster, Drowning Sooner Abstract: When Models Become the Commodity ACP Engineering works extensively with LLMs to write production code across a small team. What makes that work is not the models, but the groundwork laid before them: a portfolio of Python projects sharing the same tooling, structure, tests, CI, and linters, the same conditions that already made the codebase easy for humans to navigate. That foundation is what powers the current build of ACP-M, ACP's industrial IoT platform for manufacturing customers, and an early agentic-loop prototype now running internally. The next step is enabling customers to automate their own operations the same way. Doing that requires the same kind of preparation on their side: turning fragmented operational data into knowledge graphs, unified namespaces, and typed semantic layers, so that agents act on information that is short, focused, and reliable. Once that environment exists, the model becomes a commodity. What matters is enterprise processes and domain knowledge, not which model happens to be in fashion that quarter. Attendees will leave with a concrete way to assess whether their own environment is ready for agents at all, and what it takes to get there -- Shipping Faster, Drowning Sooner AI ships your features faster than ever, but it also ships bugs faster than ever. Code got cheap, maintenance didn't: customer complaints stack up, Sentry alerts overflow, and triaging the pile is still as expensive as it ever was. I'll show how LogicStar finds bugs across your Sentry, Jira and codebase, separates signal from noise, and helps your team fix issues that matter.

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. **YouTube Link** TBD
