**Do you like to make things? Would you like to use 3D software, lasercutter and 3D printing to help you make your idea?** TOG has an open evening to learn how CAD software and 3D fabrication tools can help you make your project. All you need to take part is your own laptop and some ideas on what you want to make. This is not a taught class, more like an informal working group of self-directed makers. We will be happy to help you explore how to use our 3D tools in designing and making your project whether you are a crafter, designer, engineer or hobbyist. Come and have a look at the tools in our space and get some ideas on how your project can be made.

These are our regular Monday evening electronics nights. Everyone from absolute beginner to experienced is welcome. These evenings are not classes or tutorials, rather a very friendly informal evening. We have a wide range of people who come. Some are absolute beginners who do not even work or study electronics, but are interested to know more. Others have something that they are already working on. We almost always have some first time visitors and we always give them a tour of the space. Come in with your Pi, Arduino, or whatever you have. Bring your laptop. Maybe you want to make something, solder, breadboard or use our electronic gear. Maybe you have some vague ideas and just want to get started. Or maybe you’re just curious……if so, it’s fine to come along and just see what others are doing. If you would like to get even more involved and have the full use of our space, we would be delighted to have you as a full member. Membership brings many benefits. We are located behind Mr Price and the Bright Lights store on Kylemore Road. We have lots of free parking available.

Come along to get rid of the number one fear people have. Every week we have new members and people starting from scratch so you will not be alone. Everything is based around what you're comfortable with and you don't have to stand up, talk or do anything if you don't feel like it. But you will have the opportunity to speak at least 4/5 times a night. You can come along to see what we're doing and take part if you like. We will be running this for beginners every week and anyone is welcome to join us to learn and get better together. Hope to see you there :D We charge €5 to help towards the room rental.

Come join me to watch an interesting documentary screening called 'Living Colour', a celebration of what it is to be human. This film is about an abstract watercolour painter who takes 3 1/2 minutes to climb into a van, a chatterbox stone carver with the shakes, a woman who colours her dreams, and the motley collective of other artists with special support needs with whom they share a studio. This observational film explores the world of an unusual artists' collective in Callan, Co. Kilkenny, a studio which focuses on the artists' lives and extraordinary work. As it takes us farther into their unique world the film builds into an often hilarious and intimate portrayal of a medley of charming and vibrant characters . Location & meeting place: The Studio, Level 1, DLR Lexicon, Dún Laoghaire Date: 7th July at 5.45pm. For members interested in attending, although this screening is free, please book your ticket through the Eventbrite link below, as you will be asked for a printout or to show your ticket on your phone. https://www.eventbrite.ie/e/dlr-lexicon-documentary-screening-living-colour-tickets-1987808678267?aff=ebdsshother&utm_share_source=listing_android&sg=bd7b3fca46d93738b0f30c578d39f3878bef8672078b1b47f391b7d56895fd6ce24f16ab18f319769fbbd6efa8ba96c6fa65681309e8661b8fe62b2ee8244c8eb1c919d6c7089e7b61713115b7 Once you have booked your ticket and mentionwd this in Comments, you will be moved from the waiting list to the going list.

During that time I've read thousands of CVs, and watched people tie themselves in knots over things that probably don't matter as much as they think. Meanwhile, my cat has somehow developed a far healthier attitude to life. He knows his worth. He doesn't take rejection personally. He doesn't spend six months replaying an embarrassing moment in his head. He is persistent to the point of being annoying, and he has a remarkable ability to identify what he actually wants instead of what looks impressive. This talk uses questionable cat behaviour to explore some surprisingly useful lessons for job seekers, including confidence, persistence, networking, handling rejection, and figuring out what actually matters to you in a role. Perfect for students, graduates, career changers, job seekers, and anyone who's ever spent three days overthinking an interview answer. **Author:** **Rose Farrell** [[https://www.linkedin.com/in/roseirl/](https://www.linkedin.com/in/roseirl/)] [I've been a tech recruiter for 12 years and a massive nerd for much longer.
