Board Games, Picnic & Connections for people in their 20s
Join us this Thursday at Treptower Park for a cozy evening of board games and connection!
The mission of Quarter Life Connections is to create spaces for **young people in their twenties** to connect and feel at home in Berlin - especially once the familiar structures of university life stop being there and work life starts.
We will start with a quick get-to-know-you round and then split up into smaller groups for games. After up to 2 hours of playing we will close with a check-out-and-stay-in-touch round. The intention is to have fun while getting to know the people around you and form start building connections that will last after the event is over.
**Please be on time!** The intro circle sets the tone for the event and is a huge support for making meaningful connections.
BRING YOUR OWN GAME - and stuff
We will have enough games there to entertain everyone - but maybe you have a game at home you think would be fun to play together? Bring it!
Also any addition of **picnic blankets** or **snacks** are very appreciated :)
CONTRIBUTION
In order to make events like this sustainable, we ask for a voluntary donation - suggestion is between 2€ and 10€. This really is **voluntary** \- noone will be turned away due to lack of money\.
KREATIV UNTAPPED #1 – Storytelling Untapped w/ Ben Sauer
**\>\>\> Registration takes place on Luma: [https://luma.com/yp90isjd](https://luma.com/yp90isjd)**
**Welcome to KREATIV UNTAPPED #1 – Storytelling Untapped w/ Ben Sauer**
**A hands-on session. No slides. Just your stories.**
We couldn't be more excited to tap into this with you at Thoughtworks Berlin. *Follow us on [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/company/kreativ-untapped) and [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/kreativuntapped).*
**KREATIV UNTAPPED** is a creative playground born in Berlin — and we're kicking off with the discipline that sits at the heart of every other one: **storytelling.**
Because here's what AI can't replace: the human desire to create. Creativity is what makes us uniquely human — it's a muscle, and like any muscle, it needs training. Most of us have stopped.
**KREATIV UNTAPPED** is where we change that — through hands-on sessions with working practitioners across visual arts, tactile crafts, narrative & sound, and spatial & performative disciplines.
**This evening** is about words, voice, and presence. In a world full of decks, dashboards and screens, we've forgotten how to just… tell a story. This evening is a practice in putting the slides away and using the oldest tools we have — your voice, your hands, your story.
**Expect a short provocation from [Ben](https://bensauer.net/), a hands-on session with a sketching element to flex that creative muscle, a round of group sharing, and time to actually meet the people in the room.**
**Who's this for?** Anyone with a story to tell — and the willingness to tell it without a slide deck.
No job title. No prior experience. Just the willingness to tap in.
Creativity untapped. Connection for real.

*DWeb Camp 2026: Root Systems is a five-day gathering in nature for builders and dreamers dedicated to building a decentralized web (DWeb). A web that is private, resilient, and beyond the control of a few central powers. Like forests, decentralized systems derive strength from what lies beneath the surface: dense networks of roots, sharing resources without hierarchy, and coordination that persists even when individual nodes disappear.*
*DWeb Camp: Root Systems invites participants to build technologies that–like living ecosystems–adapt, regenerate, and endure.*
*The event will be held at Alte Hölle, just one hour southwest of Berlin. The venue sits on the grounds of a forest hotel dating back to the 1800s. Once a Stasi recreation site, Alte Hölle is now owned and inhabited by a collectivist community of friends who are turning this space into a sustainable venue for group events of technologists, hackers, artists, and activists. Set on 100,000 square meters of lush meadows and ancient forests, Alte Hölle is both a community and location with values that resonate deeply with DWeb, a place we are excited to nourish and leave richer than when we arrive.*

Deep Work, Real Impact - Reclaiming Focus in a World of Endless Tasks
✨ Women in Agile Berlin Event ✨
Deep Work, Real Impact – Reclaiming Focus in a World of Endless Tasks
Somewhere, not that far away, a talented woman is not struggling because she lacks skill, ambition, or drive…
…but because her day is filled with everything except the work that truly matters.
Admin. Coordination. Emotional labor.
The invisible glue that keeps everything running, but slowly pulls focus away from real impact.
Have you ever ended a full day and wondered:
👉 What did I actually move forward today?
👉 Why does being “busy” not feel meaningful?
👉 When was the last time I worked with real, uninterrupted focus?
The idea that some people are “natural multitaskers” sounds like praise, but in reality, it often hides a system that rewards constant availability over meaningful contribution.
At our next Women in Agile Berlin event, Saskia Ruschke will explore why deep, focused work is one of the most powerful, and most underprotected, resources we have.
✨ Together, we will explore:
• Why constant task switching drains more than just time
• How invisible work quietly takes over our days
• What it really takes to protect focus in modern work environments
• Practical ways to create space for deep work again
👉 What would change if your focus was truly protected?
👉 What kind of impact could you create then?
Join us for an evening of reflection, practical tools, and honest conversation.

You can use any AI tools you like: **Google AI Studio, ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, Replit**, whatever! And see what you can build together before the last orders 🍻
**Format 🛠️**
After an opening presentation, we’ll be **teaming up in small groups** (2–3 people). Everyone gets a choice of several open-ended challenges, and then it’s heads-down building with your teammates. The goal is to **vibe, learn from each other, and see where the collaboration takes us.**
**New to vibe coding? ✨**
No worries! We begin with a simple starter guide with example prompts and tips so even total beginners can dive in without stress.

Rethinking Java for Accelerators: A Toy MLIR/TOSA Compiler with Bruno Caballero
In May, [Bruno Caballero](https://github.com/bruno-ah-um) will show us how to target hardware accelerators from Java with MLIR based on [his fork of the OpenJDK Project Babylon](https://github.com/bruno-ah-um/openjdk-babylon-mlir-tosa).
Bruno leads the Java Virtual Machines Engineering team at [MicroDoc](http://www.microdoc.com), which develops JVMs and maintains ports across various processors and operating systems.
In this talk, we’ll explore a toy project that translates Java code into MLIR for the TOSA dialect, which is used for AI and accelerator workloads. We’ll briefly introduce current approaches (e.g., TornadoVM and Babylon/HAT), before looking at how this project reuses existing compiler infrastructure instead of building new backends. Finally, we’ll touch on whether DSLs should be embedded in general-purpose languages like Java or designed as standalone languages.
Small snacks and drinks will be available. There is always space for outside topics and discussions. If you have specific questions, please bring them. Looking forward to meeting everyone again!

You will need to scan your ID at the door to get a visitor badge.
**Abstract**
Like it or not, AI agents are now capable of turning a quickly written paragraph of requirements into a pull request that is ready to be integrated into real-world production applications and it's now our responsibility to make sure AI doesn't go rogue and take down prod - or corrupt our data by misunderstanding the requirements or our existing schemas. 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.

Prompting Is Not Magic: How to Give AI Better Context
Most people use AI like a search box: they type one sentence, hope for the best, and get frustrated when the answer is generic, wrong, or useless.
But getting better results from tools like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and other AI systems is not about memorizing magic prompts. It is about learning how to give the AI better context.
In this beginner-friendly session, we’ll break down how to make AI dramatically more useful by improving the way you communicate with it. You’ll learn how to give clearer instructions, provide examples, set constraints, ask for better output formats, and use follow-up questions to turn a mediocre answer into a genuinely useful one.
We’ll cover practical techniques you can use immediately for work, learning, writing, coding, planning, research, and everyday problem solving. We’ll also touch on why these same ideas show up in more advanced AI systems, including RAG, agents, evaluations, and AI workflows.
No technical background required. Bring your curiosity, your questions, and maybe one real task you wish AI was better at helping you with.
**What you’ll learn:**
* Why “better prompting” is really about better context
* How to structure requests so AI gives more useful answers
* How to use examples, constraints, and output formats
* How to iterate when the first answer is not good enough
* How these skills connect to more advanced AI workflows
This meetup is for anyone who wants to move beyond basic ChatGPT usage and start getting more practical value out of AI.
LOGISTICS AND PARKING:
The talk starts at 7:00 PM. The first half hour is reserved for everyone to get set up and mingle. Free pizza and drinks!
The cheapest parking option is to find street parking, which will only cost you a few bucks. Otherwise, park in the nearby veteran's museum lot for $8. It's highly recommended you avoid the nearby $15 garage parking.
