**⭐ DOORS OPEN AT 19:30. PLEASE ARRIVE BEFORE 8PM! ⭐** The Creative Code Stammtisch is a casual show-and-tell for artists, makers, designers, coders, performers, learners and anyone interested in the use of computing skills for artistic expression. The event is free and open to all, regardless of age, origin, gender or experience. Beginners and first-timers should feel especially welcome! You don't have to be a coder yourself 😃 HOW TO FIND US? Find Prachtsaal Studio by crossing the courtyard next to Cafe Augusta on Jonasstr. 22, 12053 Berlin. WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT? We start with quick introductions, then open the floor to anyone who wants to present something. There are usually around six 10-minute slots available, plus time for questions from the audience. First-timers are encouraged to share their work. Topics range from net art to computational design and interactive installations all the way to wearable electronics or generative poetry. If you’re wondering whether your own project might fit, take a look at the [Stammtisch archive](https://creativecodeberlin.github.io/Stammtisch/) to see what others have shared in the past. This event is *not* just for coders! New-media artists and anyone working with technology in their art are very welcome to share. If you enjoy art and/or technology, you’ll likely have a great time, and maybe even learn something new! BEGINNERS WELCOME! If you’re new to creative coding, you can find beginner-friendly resources at [creativecode.berlin/learn](https://creativecode.berlin/learn). THIS IS YOUR SPACE We do our best to create a welcoming environment for all people regardless of race, ethnicity, color, religion, gender identity, sexual orientation, national origin, age, disability, or genetics.

Because 1st May - International Workers’ Day and holiday - is likely to draw crowds to Grunewald - especially with the excellent weather forecast - we’ll head to a quieter nearby forest instead. We’ll meet at the Wannsee ferry terminal (near Wannsee S-Bahn station) and take the ferry to Alt-Kladow. The ferry ride is covered by a standard BVG ticket (Zone B). Departure is at 11:00 am (the next ferry leaves an hour later), so please allow about 10 minutes to walk from the S-Bahn station to the terminal. From Alt-Kladow, we’ll follow this Komoot route: https://www.komoot.com/de-de/tour/1585149981 . Our first break will likely be fairly soon at Schloss Sacrow, where there’s a simple café - hopefully open - and public toilets. I’ll bring a frisbee. If needed, we can take another break later at Sacrower See - especially if anyone feels like going for a swim. If you need to contact other participants during the hike (for example, to find out where to meet us if you are running late), please use the Signal group link that I will send to all participants via private message three hours before the hike. This timing is intended to prevent non-participants from misusing the link for unwanted advertising, which has happened in the past. Signal allows us to share our locations during the hike without involuntarily forwarding this information to the intelligence services of authoritarian or non-authoritarian states, but unfortunately the location sharing function does not include tracking, i.e. no continuous updates. For all other purposes, especially socialising and posting photos, please use the Telegram subgroup 'Event Chat & Photos': https://t.me/addlist/KAOk2PA4BDE0ZTY8 . The hike will take place if at least 6 people sign up. As long as there are more than 6 people, you can sign up and cancel as many times as you like. If there are 6 or less people, please avoid cancelling, as this might make the other participants feel insecure about whether the hike will take place (or whether there is something wrong with the hike and they should cancel as well --> Matthew effect - Wikipedia). If there are less than 6 participants, the hike will also take place unless the majority of the participants are in favor of canceling the hike.

🎉 Join us at Panke for an epically groovy and fun celebration of Baumhaus Berlin - the making of an unlikely dream come true! We’ll gather to party, raise the good vibes and some much needed funds 💰to support Baumhaus continuing to help make the World a better place 1 Berlin at a time… links below 🎯 The goal: grow the crowdfunding from €3300 up to €8000 by June 1 to keep Baumhaus open • Donate - https://www.goodcrowd.org/saving-das-baumhaus 🎸 This next era of our great adventure together features Berlin’s new grooviest band, @junemayjulyband , a 4 piece instrumental band that plays ‘psychedelic groove funk’. 💃 When this band plays it is absolutely irresistible to dance, and on this evening, irresistible for freestyle 🎤 MC Incognegro a.k.a. Scottie B (NYC/Berlin) and other special guests to dive into some creative flowing lyricism. • Listen - https://youtube.com/shorts/Bi-SXTxgpME • Follow - https://www.instagram.com/junemayjulyband/ 🎧 Before and after the band, we will be graced with selected cuts of funk, soul, groove, hip hop, bass, drum n bass and some other deep grooves mixed by DJs (instagram links) @soulskiberlin , @felix_soulix and @djquien 🔥 If that is not enough to quench your social thirst don’t worry, the whole Panke Club will be transformed into an Open Greeting Zone where its quite normal to introduce yourself to anyone around and expect the same in return. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- 👏 Baumhaus - a valuable resource to preserve and grow Since 2012 over 1300 people have enthusiastically invested their time, energy, and love into making the Baumhaus a reality. It has always been a place where we the people go to get inspired, directly and authentically connected, purposefully engaged, practically informed and personally transformed. ❤️ Baumhaus has provided a unique and resonant atmosphere and intuitively understandable frameworks that facilitate meaningful and connective experiences. Our true solidarity with each other is that we are all working in our own ways to bring more dynamic regenerative balance into the world: personally, ecologically, aesthetically, culturally, economically and socially (p.e.a.c.e.s.).
