If they aren’t, you’re leaving a scary amount of time and attention on the table. ​January is when everyone writes lists. This day is for people who’d rather write scripts. **NOTE: To confirm your registration you need to sign up here: [https://giveago.co/register/browser-agents](https://giveago.co/register/browser-agents)** We’re spending a full builder day building browser agents with **browser-use**, agents that literally click, scroll, log in, read pages, fill forms and move across the web like a real person. By the end of the day, you won’t just know *how* browser automation works, you’ll have automated something in your actual life or workflow. **Projects You Could Build** ​• A daily briefing agent that logs into multiple dashboards, collects numbers and sends you a summary • A form completion assistant that fills repetitive applications or admin tasks • A scraper that gathers data from a messy website and updates your sheet or Notion The goal is to experiment, collaborate and figure things out together. You’ll work in small teams to break real workflows into steps a browser agent can follow, and learn how to guide an LLM through actual webpages. In thus builder day you will ship a working browser automation that replaces something you do by hand. What to Expect ​• A hands-on day where you build with other passionate builders and share ideas • A simple, structured introduction to browser-use and how LLMs control a real browser • Lots of collaboration, quick debugging and people helping each other get their agents working • A final demo session where everyone presents their projects & shares learnings **NOTE: To confirm your registration you need to sign up here: [https://giveago.co/register/browser-agents](https://giveago.co/register/browser-agents)** **​🗓 Schedule** ​🕙 **11:00 AM** Doors open and workspace setup ⚙️ **11:15 AM** Intro to browser agents with browser-use 🧩 **11:30 AM** Guided setup and your first working agent 🚀 **12:00 PM** Start building 🍕 **1:00 PM** Lunch 🖥️ **4:30 PM – 5:30 PM** Demos Bring your laptop, charger, and one part of your life that should already be automated. **​Thanks to our sponsors** ​​\*\*[Browser Use](http://browser-use.com/) YC W25\*\*: The team giving AI agents real hands on the web, the ability to click, scroll, log in, fill forms, and move through messy websites like an actual person. ​​They have raised **$17M** in ther seed round to push this forward and they’re quickly becoming *the* layer that makes fully automated workflows possible. ## ​**​​Community Sponsor** ​​​​\*\*[Wolfpack](https://www.wolfpack-digital.com/?utm_source=giveago&utm_medium=live_event):\*\* Wolfpack Digital is an award-winning agency that designs, builds, and launches digital products for startups, scaleups, and enterprises. ​​​​With 200+ web and mobile apps delivered across fintech, healthcare, IoT, and more, their clients include Musgrave, Walgreens Boots Alliance, Deezer, and Sephora. ## ​**​Venue Partner** ​​\*\*[Baseline](http://baseline.community/):\*\* Baseline is an independent community and workspace for early-stage founders who are building breakout and break-through tech companies in Ireland. *** ## ​**​​Join the community** ​​​​[Give(a)Go](http://giveago.co/) is a community of builders, hackers and tinkerers that runs regular hands-on workshops and builder days! ​​​​Follow us on: [LinkedIn](https://www.giveago.co/linkedin) \| [Instagram](https://www.giveago.co/instagram) \| [Website](https://www.giveago.co/) \| [Github](https://github.com/orgs/Give-a-Go) *We’ll be taking photos and short video clips throughout the day for recap posts and marketing.

January Repair Cafe
January Repair Cafe
Bring your broken tech and trinkets to get them fixed by the skilled volunteers at TOG Hackerspace – with a bit of help from our friends at Dublin Maker! On **Sunday, 18 January 2026**, between **12 pm and 4 pm**, TOG Hackerspace will host the first Repair Cafe of the new year in our own space. At this event, volunteers will share their expertise and passion for repair, helping you fix your broken items and breathe new life into them. Whether it’s a malfunctioning gadget, a piece of clothing in need of mending, or a household item that’s seen better days, bring it along and let the team work their magic. ### What can you bring in? * Clothes and accessories * Toys * Small electrical appliances and electronics * Small furniture … and many other things! Safety testing (PAT) for electrical devices will be available. ### What happens at a repair cafe? At the Repair Café, you sit down with a fixer and work together on your item. You can learn how to repair it yourself, or simply watch and learn from the volunteers while enjoying a tea or coffee. TOG members will also be on hand to give you a tour of the space while you wait. It’s not a drop-off service – it’s a shared, social repair session. Even if something can’t be fixed, you’ll at least go home knowing what went wrong and what your options are. ### Why join a repair cafe? Repair Cafés are a great way to support a circular economy, reduce waste, and extend the life of your belongings. Every successful repair keeps resources in use for longer, saves money, and keeps items out of the bin. They’re also a lovely way to meet people, swap stories about well-loved objects, and pick up new skills in a relaxed setting. ### Where and when? **Where?** – TOG Hackerspace, Unit 1B Motor City, Kylemore Road, Dublin 12, D12 CF6V **When?** – Sunday 18 January 2026, 12 pm – 4 pm Admission is free – but please **book a ticket so we can plan numbers** – all are welcome!

Intro to GitHub Copilot: Your AI Pair Programmer - Chris Steele
Intro to GitHub Copilot: Your AI Pair Programmer - Chris Steele
**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you. The building address is 4450 Bridge Park The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400 **Abstract** GitHub Copilot is rapidly changing how developers write, understand, and maintain code. Powered by generative AI and deeply integrated into modern development environments, Copilot acts as an intelligent coding assistant, helping developers move faster while maintaining quality and focus. In this session, we’ll explore what GitHub Copilot is, how it works, and where it fits into a real-world developer workflow. We’ll break down what Copilot can (and cannot) do, where it can be used, and how licensing differs for individuals and organizations. Most importantly, this talk goes beyond theory with a live, hands-on demo showcasing Copilot inside the IDE and on GitHub, demonstrating how it can assist with code generation, refactoring, learning new APIs, and accelerating day-to-day development tasks. Designed for developers, technical leads, and engineering managers, this session provides a practical introduction to AI-assisted development, highlights best practices for getting value from Copilot, and closes with guidance on how to continue learning and evolving alongside this rapidly advancing tool. Attendees will leave with a clear understanding of how GitHub Copilot can enhance productivity, improve developer experience, and fit into modern software teams today, not someday. **YouTube Link** TBA
HTML5 Master Series (Class 01 of 04) (SPECIAL OFFERING)
HTML5 Master Series (Class 01 of 04) (SPECIAL OFFERING)
**PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING IMPORTANT NOTES:** 1. The dates listed for this series are about 95% reliable. We are completing our 2026 schedule as we speak, so minor adjustments are still occurring. 2. Each class in this series has an attendance fee, though this first offering is free on a first-come, first-served basis. 3. Each class, from BOTH a sign-up and fee perspective, is a separate entity. **Introduction:** HTML5 is the foundational technology for modern web development, serving as the standard markup language for structuring and presenting content on the World Wide Web. Developed through a collaboration between the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) and the Web Hypertext Application Technology Working Group (WHATWG), HTML5 provides a robust system of elements (tags) that tell a browser how to display text, images, and multimedia in a clear and meaningful way. It works in concert with Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) for presentation and JavaScript for interactivity, forming the core technology stack for virtually all websites and many web applications today. One of the significant advancements of HTML5 is the introduction of powerful new features and elements designed to improve functionality and simplify development. Key additions include native multimedia support via the \ and \ tags, allowing developers to embed media without third-party plugins. It also offers new form controls for better user input, such as date and email types, and introduces web storage capabilities to store data offline for enhanced performance. These features streamline the process of building rich, interactive web experiences. A significant focus of HTML5 is enhanced semantics and better structural organization of content. New semantic elements like , , , , and \ provide meaningful structure to documents, which aids in search engine optimization (SEO) and improves accessibility for assistive technologies. These elements define different parts of a webpage (e.g., a header for the top, a nav for navigation links, a footer for the bottom), making the code more readable and understandable for both developers and machines. This emphasis on clear structure helps in creating more logical and maintainable websites. Developing websites in today's competitive environment requires taking advantage of every technique you can to get the maximum exposure possible. Our HTML5 class will not only show you what's new in the HTML specification, but also the best way to develop optimized web pages that get the attention your client and/or company requires. **The breakdown of the four-class series is as follows:** **Class 1: Introduction to Web Structure and Basic HTML5** This class introduces the core concepts of web development, the history of HTML, and the fundamental structure of an HTML5 document. * **Topics**: * **Web Architecture Overview**: How browsers, servers, and web pages interact. * **HTML Fundamentals**: Understanding elements, tags, and attributes. * **Basic Document Structure**: Using !DOCTYPE html, html, head, and body. * **Text Formatting**: Headings (h1 to h6), paragraphs (p), and text-level semantics (e.g., strong, em, br). * **Lists and Links**: Creating ordered (ol) and unordered (ul) lists, and linking between pages using anchor tags (a). * **Activity**: Students create a basic personal webpage containing text, a list of hobbies, and a link to an external website. **Class 2: Semantic HTML5 and Multimedia Integration** Class 2 focuses on modern HTML5 elements that provide meaning (semantics) to content, improving accessibility and search engine optimization. It also covers adding images and multimedia. * **Topics**: * **Semantic Elements**: Understanding and implementing elements like header, footer, nav, section, and article. * **Images**: Adding images using the img tag and attributes like src, alt, width, and height. * **Multimedia**: Embedding audio and video content using the audio and video tags. * **File and Folder Structure**: Best practices for organizing project files and managing file paths. * **Activity**: Students refactor their Class 1 project to use a proper semantic layout and add an image and a link to a video file. **Class 3: Forms and User Input** This session is dedicated to building interactive HTML5 forms, which are essential for capturing user data and input. * **Topics**: * **Form Basics**: Using the form element, action and method attributes. * **Input Types**: Exploring various input types (e.g., text, password, checkbox, radio, date, submit). * **Form Elements**: Utilizing label, textarea, select, option, and button. * **Client-side Validation**: Implementing HTML5 validation attributes like required, minlength, and pattern. * **Activity**: Students build a complete contact form with different input fields, radio buttons, and basic HTML5 validation. **Class 4: Introduction to CSS3 and Basic Styling** The final class introduces Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) to style the HTML content and make the web pages visually appealing and accessible. * **Topics**: * **CSS Fundamentals**: The role of CSS, selectors, properties, and values. * **Integrating CSS**: Using inline, internal, and external style sheets. * **The Box Model**: Understanding margin, padding, border, and content for basic layout. * **Basic Styling**: Changing colors, fonts, and text alignment. * **Accessibility Basics**: Identifying principles of web design usability and accessibility, including ARIA labels. * **Activity**: Students apply an external CSS file to their Class 3 form project to style the layout, colors, and fonts, culminating in a well-structured and styled webpage.
