Maybe you’ll never see those kids again.

🚀 **Vom Code zum Kosmos: Programmieren lernen mit Python** Programmieren wirkt oft kompliziert. Doch die Grundlagen lassen sich einfacher verstehen, wenn man die Auswirkungen des eigenen Codes direkt sehen kann. In diesem Workshop erhalten Sie einen verständlichen Einstieg in die Programmiersprache Python. Gemeinsam erkunden wir grundlegende Konzepte wie Variablen, Schleifen und Funktionen und lernen, wie Computer Programme ausführen. Anstatt nur Text auf dem Bildschirm zu betrachten, verwenden wir einfache Animationen und Weltraumvideos als Lernwerkzeug. So werden Änderungen am Code sofort sichtbar und die wichtigsten Programmierkonzepte lassen sich intuitiv nachvollziehen. * Was macht ein Computer eigentlich mit einem Programm? * Was sind Variablen, Schleifen und Funktionen? * Wie verändert eine kleine Änderung im Code das Ergebnis? * Wie entstehen aus Programmcode einfache Animationen? Vorkenntnisse sind nicht erforderlich. Der Workshop richtet sich an alle, die einen ersten Einblick in die Welt des Programmierens erhalten möchten. Am Ende des Workshops werden die Teilnehmenden die Grundstruktur einfacher Python-Programme verstehen, Code lesen und anpassen können und erlebt haben, wie Programmcode sichtbare Ergebnisse erzeugt. Bitte bringen Sie Ihren eigenen Laptop mit und installieren Sie Python vor dem Workshop. Begleiten Sie uns zu einem Abend voller Entdeckungen und erster Schritte in die Welt des Programmierens. In Volketswil heisst es: Ready for launch. 🎟️ Ab 16 Jahren: CHF 25 bei Voranmeldung via [info@volkibrains.ch](mailto:info@volkibrains.ch), CHF 30 an der Abendkasse Bis 15 Jahre: kostenlos 📍 Ort: Stationsstrasse 25a, 8604 Volketswil 📅 Datum: Donnerstag, 25.

Welcome, readers! Our June read is ***Endurance: Shackleton's Incredible*** ***Voyage*** **by Alfred Lansing.** A work of nonfiction, and one of the most astonishing survival stories in history, we follow Sir Ernest Shackleton and his crew after their ship is crushed by Antarctic ice. Stranded in one of the harshest environments on Earth, the men endure months of isolation, freezing temperatures, and near starvation—yet refuse to give up hope. Lansing brings their ordeal to life through vivid detail and firsthand accounts, capturing both the brutality of nature and the resilience of the human spirit. At its core, the story is a powerful testament to leadership, perseverance, and the unbreakable will to survive against impossible odds. Looking forward to discussing with everyone! We will meet at Zaftig Brewing Co in their event room in the back. We are welcome to bring in our own food, but **all** **drinks must be purchased at the bar.** Happy reading! 📖

We meet to learn and practice American Sign Language and to grow our familiarity with Deaf culture.

As we learn, we hope to connect more with the Deaf community in Central Ohio. Join us as you're able! Come regularly or just once - whatever you're looking for! Each meetup will explore different topics related to ASL/Deaf culture, and will feature time to practice conversation with one another. Just bring yourself and a willingness to learn!

[The Board Walks](http://www.theboardwalks.com/) are for curious people who love deep conversations. If that sounds like you, **bring a thoughtful topic** and join us for a 5-mile walk (10,000+ steps!). **HOW IT WORKS** **Step 1: Bring a topic** Before you arrive, think of **one** topic you want to explore. A question. A thought that's been on your mind. An obsession you want to geek out on. This is your ticket to the event. **Step 2: Circle up & share** We gather in a circle. Your friendly walk host gives a speech to set the tone. Everyone shares: your name, what you're grateful for, and your topic. That's it. 60 seconds. **Step 3: Walk, talk & float** We walk 5 miles. You naturally drift into conversation with 2-3 people at a time, pulled by topics that spark your curiosity. When you're ready to move on, just say: "I'm going to float!" **Step 4: Feel more alive** Two hours flies by. You're back where you started — but you feel different. More alive. More energized. More connected to yourself and others. That's why regulars join 20+ times. *For more details, read our [Orientation Guide.](https://www.theboardwalks.com/orientation)* **HOW TO BRING A GREAT TOPIC** A great topic = something you're genuinely curious about. Recent topics include: * "What are you passionate about right now?" * "What makes a good friend?" * "What's a belief you used to hold that you've completely changed?" * "How do you want to be remembered?" * "What would you do if money wasn't a factor?" Think of your topic like the dish you're bringing to our conversational potluck. If everyone brings an A+ dish (i.e. energizing, uplifting, expansive), we'll all walk away feeling lighter and brighter. **WHAT TO EXPECT** This isn't a fitness event with casual chitchat. It's a walking think tank where we explore life's big questions together, beyond small talk. *If you're looking for light banter or a standard networking event, this probably isn't the right fit.* But if you crave depth, genuine connection, and conversations that make you feel alive? You'll love it here. **FAQ** * Wear casual athletic attire and sneakers. It's a long walk! * We have multiple first-timers at each event. We work hard to create a welcoming, inclusive, clique-free space. * We welcome people of **all** ages, backgrounds, and industries who align with the [intention](https://www.theboardwalks.com/ground-rules) of this space. * Rain or shine, we've been out here nearly every week since July 2022. If the event is cancelled, we'll let you know. * Dogs, babies in strollers, parents, and friends are welcome — please text/email them the event link so they can RSVP and prepare a topic! **LOGISTICS** * If you'll arrive over 10 minutes late, we suggest skipping the event. It's hard to find us once we start walking, and your host can't answer messages during the event. * This walk is designed for everyone to *move together at the same steady pace* (about 20 min/mile). This format works best when the whole group moves in unison. If you have mobility limitations, we kindly encourage you to find an event better suited to your needs. * Read our [Orientation Guide](https://www.theboardwalks.com/orientation) for full details. * If you enjoy the event, send **[this](http://www.theboardwalks.com/)** to a friend or sign up for our **[newsletter](https://theboardwalks.beehiiv.com/)**. We're in multiple cities with more on the way. 🤠👋 **IF YOU WANT TO GO DEEPER...** [The Board](https://stan.store/ellebeecher/p/the-board) is the next step: a high-trust collective for renaissance people devoted to creating, connecting, and building lives that light us up. * This is a global HQ for people who crave big talk, deep connection, and dream collaborations with people across industries. If the walks feel like a spark... The Board is the fire. Apply [here](https://stan.store/ellebeecher/p/the-board).
