Hello Everyone, There are many exciting developments in Robotics and AI right now, so let's get together to learn, connect, and create more opportunities for everyone here in Austin. This event will be held in-person at [HICAM](https://www.hicam.io/event/austin-robotics-and-ai-march) from 6 pm - 8 pm. **Get your free ticket** [here.](https://www.hicam.io/event/austin-robotics-and-ai-march) **Talk 1:** The TriMech Design Process: Turning Ideas Into Production Ready Products **Talk description:** This talk provides a high level walkthrough of [TriMech Design Solutions](https://design.trimech.com/)’ streamlined, end to end product development process. Formerly known as MAKO Design before its acquisition, the team now combines startup savvy industrial design with the broader engineering, simulation, and manufacturing capabilities of TriMech. Attendees will discover how this integrated ecosystem empowers inventors, startups, and small companies to move from early sketches to manufacturable products with greater speed, clarity, and affordability.

Magnus is active in the design community as a speaker and educator, including appearances at the Industrial Design Conference and leadership as the Chair of IDSA’s Austin chapter. **Talk 2:** Jon Olsen -Thermoelectrics: Physics, Pitfalls, and Practical Design **Talk description:** Thermoelectric (Peltier) coolers are one of the most misunderstood technologies in electronics. Many engineers treat them like a tiny refrigerator or simply sandwich one between a chip and a heatsink. In reality, a thermoelectric module is no more a complete cooling solution than the compressor alone is an HVAC system. Used incorrectly, they can create thermal runaway, waste power, and make systems perform worse instead of better. This lightning talk will explain how thermoelectrics actually work and where they make sense in real systems. We will look at practical robotics and embedded applications such as stabilizing thermal camera sensors, managing burst heat loads in motors and batteries, and controlling temperature in sealed systems where compressors or refrigerants are not practical. The talk will focus on the system design approach required to make thermoelectrics succeed, including the thermal stack and heat rejection. I will also briefly introduce a thermoelectric evaluation kit we are developing to help engineers experiment with TEC systems and design them correctly. I am looking for about ten beta testers from the community who are interested in trying the hardware and providing feedback. About **Jon Olsen:** [Jon Olsen](https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonwwo/) is a product manager at Sheetak, an Austin-based company that designs and manufactures thermoelectric cooling and generation technology. His work focuses on developing practical thermal systems and evaluation platforms that help engineers integrate thermoelectrics into real products. Jon’s background combines entrepreneurship and engineering. He has spent much of his career building hardware products and bringing electromechanical systems to market, with experience spanning thermal systems, IoT devices, and manufacturing. He enjoys working at the intersection of physics, product design, and hands-on hardware development.

These classes are gentle and effective for everyone, regardless of age, physical condition, or experience. They include breathing, alignment, balance, strengthening, toning, stretching, relaxation, and meditation. RSVP is required: through Meetup or by email, text, or phone (see below). Bring: A mat; a thick towel, blanket, or rug; and water. Clothing: Wear comfortable clothing that is easy to move in. Wear layers when it's cold so that you can adjust your clothing as you warm up and cool down. Please refrain from wearing perfume and other fragrances. Cost: No charge. Donations are gratefully accepted! Click [here](http://yogameditationgroup.org/donations/) for ways to donate. Location: Yoga Meditation Group, 13740 Research Blvd., Bldg T, Unit 3, Austin, 78750 Yoga Asana is the physical practice of yoga that includes exercises, breathing, and relaxation. The purpose of Yoga Asana isn't fitness. It is, in part, to take care of the body as our vehicle; and although this may include fitness, it should never be defined by it. Yoga Asana practice gives us the opportunity to become aware of the body and the life force within the body, helping us to experience that we are not the body but rather the eternal being within the body who needs fulfillment on a level that the body cannot satisfy. This experience can then lead us to the deeper yoga practices, which are centered around meditation (the heart of yoga) and spiritual inquiry about our eternal identity and purpose. All of our meditation classes are free and are listed here on Meetup. Let us know if you have any questions. Namaste. NOTE: We do not require masks. We believe it is important to be able to breathe freely while practicing yoga asana and meditation. If you are not comfortable with this, we have links we can send you that may be helpful in practicing at home. YogaMeditationGroup.org info@YogaMeditationGroup.org (512) 774-4964

Whether you’re a seasoned "lister" chasing spring migrants or a curious beginner hoping to spot your very first "spark bird," come join us for a morning of discovery at **[Tejas Camp](https://www.recreation.gov/camping/campgrounds/234643)**! Nestled along the scenic North San Gabriel River, this LCRA gem is a vital stopover for birds traveling the Central Flyway. Its well-protected riparian habitat and dense canopy provide the perfect "rest stop" for weary travelers, making it one of the best spots in the area to witness the magic of spring migration. **What We’ll Be Looking For** The river corridor at Tejas Camp acts as a natural highway for a dazzling variety of species. We’ll be keeping our eyes and ears peeled for: * Vibrant Warblers: From the sharp, yellow-and-gray contrast of the Nashville Warbler to the striking patterns of the Black-and-white, we’ll hunt for these "jewels of the trees" as they forage in the pecans and elms. * Flycatchers & Passerines: Watch for the acrobatic stunts of Scissor-tailed Flycatchers or listen for the distinctive whistles of Great Crested Flycatchers and Summer Tanagers. * River Residents: We might even catch a glimpse of a Belted Kingfisher patrolling the water or a Yellow-crowned Night-Heron stalking the shallows. **A Relaxed, Low-Impact Hike** Our route follows the gentle, soft-dirt trails that wind through the park. This is a low-impact hike designed for all fitness levels. We’ll move at a "birder’s pace"—slow and observant—to ensure everyone has time to get their binoculars on the action. **All Skill Levels Welcome** New to birding? Don't worry! This is a relaxed, educational walk. We’ll practice "birding by ear" and share tips on how to identify birds by their silhouette and behavior. For the veterans, this is a great chance to share your expertise and enjoy the camaraderie of the local birding community in a beautiful setting. **The Details** Please bring water, comfortable walking shoes, and your binoculars. Tejas Camp offers a peaceful escape where the sounds of the city are replaced by the songs of the San Gabriel. Let’s head out and see what surprises the spring migration has in store for us! *** We will meet in the parking lot by the restrooms off CR258.

But Streetlight Guild does have free WiFi! Yay! * **PARKING:** There is free public parking at Streetlight Guild.

We thought of one of the interesting things that can be enjoyed at this time of the year. We will be meeting at Immaculate Conception Catholic Church for a "Fish Fry" in Marian Hall on Friday, March 27th at 5:00 PM. It might be fun for you to experience what has become a tradition on the Fridays before Easter. They will have fried fish or baked fish, French fries and Cole slaw, as well as beverages, all for $16.00 for adults. They will have other beverages and desserts available for sale, as well. We have never tried this, and sometimes there are quite a few people at these events so we hope that we will be able to find each other easily. I'll try to have signs outside Marian Hall that Identify our group. We hope to have you join us!

Private Group. Closed to the Public Knowing ourselves and understanding our abilities is the first step toward wielding our gifts with control and accuracy. In subsequent classes we will verify and hone our talents with activities and discussion. These are hands-on workshops and participation is expected. The goal of our series will be to develop expertise in areas of particular interest such as mediumship, channeling, divination, healing and, etc.. Our ultimate directions will be determined by class members as we evolve. I look forward to sharing and discovering with you. - Cynthia
