**CONNECT. INSPIRE. TRAVEL. REPEAT.** **LOOP NIGHT 🌍** You know that feeling — you show up to an event, there are people **everywhere**, and somehow you still feel **alone**. You stand around waiting for someone else to make the first move. Nobody does. You go home with the same number of friends you came with. Loop Night is **built differently.** Small group. Real venue. A format that actually gets people talking — even if you're both introverts. *** **🧠 First — the Quiz** You'll be split into teams with strangers. Ten minutes in, you're already arguing about which country has the best street food or who invented the light bulb. Ice broken. Introductions handled! **🎤 Then — the Story Spotlight** Anyone who wants can share a travel story in a short presentation format. There are no boring adventures — only wrong angles. We've had someone break down their trip to China, someone rank Buenos Aires empanadas by neighborhood. Both got a standing ovation. Every talk turns into a conversation — questions, debates, personal stories from the audience. That's where the real connections happen. **This** edition is **open topic** — any adventure, any angle, any format.

Or feel free to make your own! If the link doesn't work, just message us and we'll send it directly. *** **Who is this for?** For people who want to find their kind of crowd — not just be around people 🤝 For those who collect experiences, not just destinations 🗺️ For anyone who wants to practice speaking in front of others and actually enjoy it 🎯 For travelers who want to leave with real tips from people who've already been there 💡 *** *After the main program — for those who want to stay — we pass mate around the circle. Argentine style. No rush. 🧉* *** **🕹️ Want in?** Spots are limited — and that's the whole point. A small room means everyone actually meets everyone. To join: send us a message to claim your spot. Once you're confirmed, entry is **ARS 12.000** cash at the door — or you can pay online via [the link](https://luma.com/fw3m945w). If it's not working, drop us a message and we'll sort it out. No drop-ins. Not because we're gatekeeping — because the atmosphere only works when the room is right. *** *Travelers Loop isn't a networking event.* *It's a room full of people who move through the world a little differently.* *If that sounds like you — you already know what to do.* 🌍 **CONNECT. INSPIRE. TRAVEL. REPEAT.**

En este taller introductorio vamos a acercarnos a la **Teoría de Respuesta al Ítem (TRI)** de una manera práctica y accesible. La TRI sirve para entender mejor **cómo funcionan los ítems (preguntas) de un test y cómo miden una habilidad o rasgo**. Nos permite ver, por ejemplo, si un ítem es más fácil o más difícil, si discrimina bien entre personas con distinto nivel, y si funciona de manera consistente. También es una herramienta muy útil para seleccionar los mejores ítems, acortar tests sin perder calidad y diseñar escalas más precisas. A lo largo del encuentro, vas a: \- Construir una comprensión conceptual de sus ideas principales\. \- Aplicar este método usando R\. \- Aprender a interpretar sus resultados para entender mejor cómo funcionan los ítems y qué aportan a la medición\. Este taller es **introductorio** y está dirigido a personas con un **conocimiento básico de escalas psicométricas**. **No requiere conocimiento previo de Teoría de Respuesta al Ítem.** **Requerimientos:** * R: 4.5.1 (mínimo) * RStudio: 2025.05.1 (mínimo, descargar [aquí](https://posit.co/downloads/)) * Instalar los paquetes **tidyverse, mirt y ltm**
