We will be meeting in person and online via Zoom to discuss and share projects and knowledge related to microcontroller and microcomputer projects using the Arduino, ESP32, Raspberry Pi, and others. Beginners and Experts are welcome to attend and participate! A rough agenda for the meeting shall be: \* **Ask the Arduino Expert:** Get project help from the experts. Got a problem with a project you're working on, or need advice on getting started? Get in-person and online help to get you going! We'll go around the room and see what each person needs help with. \* **Show-and-Tell:** Got a digital electronics project to share? Talk about it informally and share what you've learned! It can be as simple as a Blink project or as complex as an Edge AI application. You do not need to be an expert in the subject matter. \* **Open Day:** Work on your projects during the meeting. You can listen, share, or get going on your projects, whatever you decide! Bring your soldering iron and tools. \* **Build a Project Team**: Looking for project help on a longer-term basis? Share your project and find willing participants to help you finish it! For the best possible experience, please attend in person and bring a laptop with a USB port, and your project or project ideas. We will have several Arduino computers available to borrow and experiment with during the meeting, including the new [Arduino Uno Q](https://www.arduino.cc/product-uno-q).

WilCo Food Tours - every month we'll eat dinner at a highly recommended restaurant. Join us for some delicious food and good conversation while we explore Central Texas cuisine. This month's stop on the WilCo Food Tour is 四姐 Special Noodle with a unique cooking technique that has customers fascinated. In early 2022, the owner personally developed a special noodle dish that involves cooking the noodles and broth on high-temperature natural cobblestones in the pot. This causes the broth to immediately boil and creates a remarkable sight for customers to witness. The high-temperature cobblestones also ensure that the noodles and soup remain hot for a longer period of time, providing a more enjoyable dining experience.

## 🤝 Host Information A co-hosted event by ProductTank Columbus & Women in Product Columbus 💡 About the Workshop AI adoption is stalling across organizations — not because of a lack of motivation or tools, but because it's fundamentally a behavior design challenge. This hands-on workshop applies proven Behavior Design models and methods to help you move from a vague organizational wish to boost AI adoption to 3-5 concrete, testable interventions you can act on starting tomorrow. Whether you're a product manager, on a product team, or just someone trying to get AI to actually stick at work, you'll leave with a clear picture of what's worth focusing on, what to ignore, and how to drive real, sustained adoption — no guesswork required. 🛠️ What to Bring Laptop: Fully charged and ready to go. AI Assistant: Have your favorite AI assistant pulled up. (Dom will be using Claude, but feel free to use whichever assistant you prefer!) 🍕 Logistics & Perks Food & Drink: Pizza and drinks provided! Parking: Plenty of free spaces available on-site. ###

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. **New to electronics or curious about tinkering?** You’re absolutely welcome. If you’re a beginner and want to experiment, I’ll have a couple of starter kits available so you can try things out—whether that’s blinking your first LED, putting something on a display, or experimenting with simple sensors. No pressure and no experience required—just an interest in learning and building. 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.
