London daytime testing at Waterloo
London daytime testing at Waterloo
We playtest all sorts of games - strategic, silly, creative, or whatever. Some games are almost done. Some are very early ideas. We test anything that will fit into 90 minutes. You don't need to bring a game - we always love to have new playtesters! Please let us know in the comments when you plan to arrive/leave and whether you are bringing a game or not. This helps us to plan the day better. The schedule is: 10am onwards - gathering, chatting 11am sharp - playing for 90 min ('slot 1') 12:30ish - break for food/chat 1pm sharp - playing for 90 min ('slot 2') 2:30ish - break for food/chat 3pm sharp - playing for 90 min ('slot 3') 4:30ish - finish up Often, we might hang around afterwards, to play some already-published games. We are strict on timings, so please try to arrive a few minutes before the session to limit disruption. You can just come for part of the day if you wish. The reason we have fixed timings for the 3 'slots' is to make it easier for folk to do so. Designers of all levels of experience are welcome! But if it's your first time, we ask that you don't bring a game and just spend some time learning how the group works. The group works based on reciprocation. If you expect to test your own game, make sure stay for long enough to play other games. As a general rule of thumb, you can expect to play one of your own games every third 90-minute session. So if you stay a whole day (3 sessions), you can expect to have one session to play your game(s). A good rule of thumb is that if you come all day, you will have one 90 minute session with two other playtesters in which to test your own games. It is sometimes possible to test games with more players. If your game requires 4 or more, please note that as standard you will be allocated half of a session (45 minutes). Pre-covid, we were getting unmanageable. As a result, we may have to limit attendees. This is a free-to-use venue, and we have to be mindful that other folk want to use the same space. Please note: This is an adults only event. We look forward to seeing you!

#1 - the UX of nature
#1 - the UX of nature
**Meet likeminded UX professionals and discuss ways to use design to reduce burnout.** โ€‹**The Problem:** With stress and burnout on the rise, how can we use design to help Londoners "switch off" and reconnect with nature? โ€‹For our first **design impact lab** session, weโ€™ll be using the Japanese practice of *Shinrin-yoku* (forest bathing) as a lens to discuss how simple interventions can help us reconnect with nature to reduce stress & burnout. โ€‹**The Flow (Sunday 12th April 10:30 AM - 12:30 PM):** * โ€‹**10:00 \| Coffee & Intros \(WatchHouse\, Hanover\):** Weโ€™ll meet for coffee to kick things off. You'll meet other attendees and discuss the problem space. * โ€‹**10:30 \| Observation Walk:** A 15-minute mini fieldwork walk to Hyde Park. You'll observe how the environment changes from a busy urban centre to the park and how this impacts how you feel. * โ€‹**11:00 \| Shinrinyoku & Brainstorming:** Once we find a quiet spot, weโ€™ll dive into the world of *Shinrin-yoku*. Weโ€™ll discuss how nature can boost wellbeing and brainstorm "micro-interventions" - simple design ideas (digital or physical) that could encourage more people in London to engage with nature to reduce stress & burnout. * โ€‹**12:00 \| Closing & Optional Lunch:** We'll wrap up our discussions and those who have time can go for a casual lunch or picnic in the park. *** โ€‹**Pre-Event Mission:** โ€‹Your mission is to bring **one photo on your phone** of a natural spot that made you feel good recently. It can be a park, a window box, or even a stubborn weed in the pavement. Weโ€™ll share these over coffee to explore the different ways in which nature impacts our day to day experiences. *** โ€‹**The Details:** * โ€‹**Meeting Point:** WatchHouse, Hanover (Oxford Circus). * โ€‹**Capacity:** Weโ€™re keeping this to a small group to ensure everyone can connect and contribute. Please ensure your RSVP is up to date and let us know if you're unable to attend. * โ€‹**Vibe:** Friendly and relaxed! No laptops, just notebooks and fresh air. *** โ€‹**Why Join?** โ€‹If youโ€™re a designer or researcher who wants to use your skills for more than just "conversion," come say hi. โ€‹Itโ€™s a chance to meet like-minded people, learn about forest bathing and brainstorm design solutions to a universal problem. โ€‹It's also our very first event, and I would love to hear everyone's thoughts and feedback to improve. โ€‹**Who is this for?** โ€‹Our events are for UX designers, researchers and other strategic and creative thinkers who are passionate about using their skills for social good, not just profit. โ€‹**Who is the host?** โ€‹Hi! ๐Ÿ‘‹ I'm Max - a London based design researcher. Until recently I was based in Tokyo, where I ran a small design agency and spent over 10 years as a meetup organizer. I'm exploring ways to bring designers together to use our skills to work on meaningful problems. If that sounds like something you're interested in, I'd love to have you join! \*This event is being advertised on multiple sites, so the actual number of attendees will be different to what appears on meetup.

Rebel Women of the South Bank!
### *Grit, Gangs & Gutsy Londoners South of the River* Hold your hats โ€” weโ€™re going **SOUFF of the river!** This is London as youโ€™ve never seen it before: gritty, bold, and bursting with the stories of women who broke every rule in the book. Weโ€™ll trace the footsteps of the **40 Elephants**, Britainโ€™s longest-running gang โ€” and yes, they were *all women*. Youโ€™ll meet the gang queens who terrorised Londonโ€™s shops in style, armed with charm, cunning, and a penchant for fine fashion. Then weโ€™ll uncover the extraordinary life of a **theatre founder** whose tomboy spirit led her to carry a penknife everywhere โ€” even when she was decked out in a ball gown. Weโ€™ll meet the **lesbian wife of the Archbishop of Canterbury**, and celebrate **Mary Seacole**, the trailblazing Black nurse and businesswoman who healed soldiers and defied prejudice. Forget polished mansions and polite history โ€” this is **working-class London at its best**, full of fire, resilience, and brilliance. Weโ€™ll stroll along the quieter **South Bank**, with stunning views of the Houses of Parliament (a dream for photographers!), before ending in **Leake Street**, Londonโ€™s vibrant tunnel of ever-changing street art. At the end we shall visit a truly independent coffee shop (optional). So come join me *south of the river*, where Londonโ€™s forgotten rebels are ready to tell their stories. *** **Start place:** The Old Vic Theatre **11am** **Finish:** Waterloo Station **Cost: ยฃ10** buy tickets from Eventbrite: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/rebel-women-of-the-south-bank-tickets-1985140716321?aff=oddtdtcreator&keep_tld=true Some tickets available on day with card or cash Please wear sensible shoes and bring water or other refreshments.

What If Your AI Could Be a Team? - Chad Green
**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 You will need to scan your ID at the door to get a visitor badge. **Abstract** GitHub Copilot is powerful, but what if you could scale from a solo AI assistant to an entire team of specialized agents working in parallel? This session introduces Squad: an open-source framework for multi-agent orchestration that lets you define teams of AI agents with specific roles, responsibilities, and expertise. We'll progress from Copilot basics to the Copilot CLI, explore how Agents add autonomy, and see how Instructions and Skills let you customize agent behavior. Then, the climax: a live demo where a Squad team of 3 agents (Lead, Developer, Tester) stands up and builds a working application in real-time, showcasing true multi-agent collaboration. Whether you're new to AI or exploring how to scale your use of Copilot, this session will show you what's possible when agents work as a team. **YouTube Link** TBD
Sunday at Highbanks Metro Park
Sunday at Highbanks Metro Park
We will meet next to the restrooms at the [Big Meadows Picnic Area](https://www.metroparks.net/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/HBK_Web_1980.png). They're all the way at the back of the park, and they can be found at coordinates [40ยฐ09'06.6"N 83ยฐ02'30.2"W](https://www.google.com/maps/place/40%C2%B009'06.6%22N+83%C2%B002'30.2%22W/@40.151828,-83.0423587,214m/data=!3m2!1e3!4b1!4m10!1m5!3m4!2zNDDCsDA5JzA4LjAiTiA4M8KwMDEnNDUuMSJX!8m2!3d40.1522222!4d-83.0291944!3m3!8m2!3d40.151827!4d-83.041715?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI0MTIwNC4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D) (near the playground and the zip line). We'll hike about 5 miles at [Highbanks Metro Park](https://www.metroparks.net/parks-and-trails/highbanks/) on the Dripping Rock and Overlook Trails. Afterward, we'll head over to [Olentangy River Brewing](https://www.olentangybrew.com/) for drinks, coffee, or food (their Sunday [food truck](https://www.olentangybrew.com/eventsandfood) is Venezuelan and always gets good reviews). The actual address of the brewery is [303 Green Meadows Dr S, 43035](https://www.google.com/maps/place/303+Green+Meadows+Dr+S,+Lewis+Center,+OH+43035/@40.1551938,-83.0144045,17.25z/data=!4m6!3m5!1s0x8838f395cef06c97:0xe407de61b3e30069!8m2!3d40.1551765!4d-83.0124352!16s%2Fg%2F11c26jc7j9?entry=ttu). If you can't make the hike, we should be there by noon. **How to find our starting point in Big Meadows:** If you are new to Highbanks, the Big Meadows picnic area is 1.5 miles into the park just after you turn into the park off of U.S. Route 23. That is, after you enter the park, drive a mile and a half into the park. You will come to a crosswalk with a yield sign in the middle of it (this is not to be confused with the first such crosswalk you come to just in front of the Nature Center, which you arrive at maybe a quarter of a mile into the park). Just after this second crosswalk, make a left. Then make another almost immediate left into the parking lot on your left. There you will see the jungle gym and the kiddie zip line to your left. I will be just in front of the restrooms just a bit further down from the jungle gym and picnic shelter; the restroom building will also be on your left.

AI is changing how art is made. But when does it stop being your work and start being the machineโ€™s? This month we're going to be doing a panel with with digital image, music, and written word artists, talking about at what point, while using AI in the creation process, does the work become not the artist creation?

CMG Gives Back: Serve Brunch at FAITH MISSION GRANT KITCHEN!
CMG Gives Back: Serve Brunch at FAITH MISSION GRANT KITCHEN!
Join us as we get together to get together to help those in need at this CMG Gives Back event! We have a great little community of Movie Group friends so rather than see a movie this time, weโ€™ll help โ€œcreate a better worldโ€ by helping serve those in need. Here are complete details and our plan for this event: FAITH MISSION โ€“ GRANT KITCHEN: The Faith Mission kitchen and dining room serves residents 3 meals a day, every day of the year. For this event, our group will help prepare food, serve meals, assist residents in the dining room, wash dishes, and clean surfaces. PLAN: We will be preparing / serving / cleaning for BRUNCH from 10:30am to 12:30pm and have space for a total of 7 volunteers. Please arrive at 10:20am and wear closed-toe shoes and long pants. LOCATION: Faith Mission โ€“ Grant Kitchen is located at 245 N. Grant Ave. Enter the kitchen at Dock 1 (in the back of the building), indicated in the attached map. On-site parking in the adjacent lot and street parking is available in the surrounding area. Below are some links / attachments with additional info/details: IMPORTANT REMINDER: Our group will be providing all of the volunteers on this day so a firm RSVP count is essential. Please only sign up if you are certain youโ€™ll be able to attend. If something unavoidable comes up, please try to update your RSVP no later than one week prior to the event. With few exceptions, no shows or cancelations within 1 week of the event will not be eligible for future CMG Gives Back events. I appreciate your understanding as we try to ensure the agencies have the volunteers needed to provide the essential services they provide to the vulnerable population they serve. Our Partner Agency for this event is Lutheran Social Services! A huge THANK YOU to all of YOU for volunteering at this (and any of our previous) CMG Gives Back events! Should be a good/fun/meaningful time together, Dan
