Weekly language event happening every Tuesday at Bar Onze 21 in São Paulo's best neighbourhood to go out, Vila Madalena.

Nesse workshop você vai ver o fluxo completo de desenvolvimento com IA sendo executado do zero: como estruturar contexto antes de fazer qualquer pedido, como iterar em passos pequenos sem perder o controle, como usar TDD para não depender da sorte, e como revisar código que você não escreveu mas vai assinar. Duas horas. Mãos na massa. Sem slide de "boas práticas", você vai ver as boas práticas funcionando ou falhando em tempo real.

Meetup 01 — Kiro no Teclado: App Pronto Mais Rápido que o Morango Chegar na Feira Nesta palestra com demonstrações práticas, Flávio Pimenta mostra como o Kiro — o assistente de IA da AWS para desenvolvedores — funciona no dia a dia de quem trabalha com tecnologia. Através de demos ao vivo, a audiência acompanha a ferramenta em ação: gerando código, criando testes, produzindo documentação e interagindo de forma inteligente com o desenvolvedor. A sessão aborda como integrar IA no fluxo de desenvolvimento real, o papel insubstituível do profissional na validação do que a IA entrega, e por que quem domina essas ferramentas está se destacando no mercado.

Celebrate the people who became part of your story while you paint your own ceramic piece! In a world where so many of our conversations happen through screens, some connections still feel deeply real. A best friend. A partner. A person who was there at the right time. Someone who changed the way you see life, love, friendship, or yourself. This collab between Walk and Talk and Formiga Ateliê is a 3-hour ceramics and English conversation experience. While you paint your own ceramic mug, you’ll be guided through meaningful English conversation prompts about the important relationships in your life: how they started, how they grew, what made them last, and why they still matter. In the end you can keep your piece as a personal memory or give it as a gift to the person who inspired it. This is not just a ceramics class. It is a moment to slow down, disconnect from your phone, remember, create, and celebrate someone meaningful. The experience includes: - 3-hour guided ceramics experience - Breakfast/brunch - 1 Mug - Paints, brushes, tools, and everything you need to create your piece Technical assistance The Formiga Ateliê team will provide you with a crash course in portuguese just so things are crystal clear on how to handle the materials and paint your ceramic piece successfully and in the way you want Finishing and lacquering After the experience, your piece will be finished, lacquered, cured, and tempered by the studio Participants will be able to retrieve their pieces up to 30 days later. Even though the pieces are always ready before the 30 day deadline we ask for this timeframe because the ceramic pieces need to go through the proper finishing process at a separate ceramics studio IMPORTANT DETAIL Investment: R$300 per perso Duration: 3 hour Language: All interactions will be in English except maybe for some technical explanations if participants have any specific questions about techniques and processes Spots: Limited to 12 participant Included piece: 1 mug per participan There will also be other ceramic pieces available at the studio in different formats and price ranges. Participants can choose to paint extra pieces, which will be charged separately

Exposição imersiva “Astro” transforma ciência em experiência sensorial em São Paulo Deslize por um tobogã cósmico e suspenda a lógica do cotidiano ao atravessar um portal onde ciência e imaginação se entrelaçam. Do brilho dos telescópios renascentistas às imagens enviadas por sondas interplanetárias, do fascínio da Lua à enigmática matéria escura, a narrativa de “Astro” vai te conduzir pelo passado, presente e futuro da astronomia. “Astro” percorre grandes marcos da astronomia: das primeiras observações com telescópios à conquista da Lua, das imagens enviadas pelas sondas Viking e Cassini às descobertas dos telescópios orbitais Hubble e Webb. Conceitos complexos como matéria e energia escura, partículas subatômicas e formação de galáxias são traduzidos em experiências sensoriais através de tecnologias como vídeo mapping, instalações sonoras polifônicas, realidade virtual e projeções em fulldome. Em um planetário de última geração, que ocupa uma sala de 1.200 m² revestida de projeções 360°, superfícies siderais são recriadas. Já nas cabines de inteligência artificial cada participante que queira, pode se transformar em um astronauta brasileiro. “Astro” não se limita a revisitar dados científicos: coloca o visitante no centro da experiência, como se a exploração do cosmos fosse uma possibilidade próxima e compartilhada. Da simulação de missões históricas à provocação de imaginar brasileiros na Lua ou em Marte.

Teatro - Fim de Partida - SESC Pinheiros - 31/05 - 18h Escrita e montada originalmente na Europa pouco mais de uma década após o fim da segunda guerra, Fim de Partida é uma reação ao cenário de ruína física e simbólica, à falta de sentido em um mundo colapsado. A Europa, ainda sob os escombros, vivia uma profunda crise de identidade, social, política, existencial. No Brasil de 2025, ainda que em outro contexto, enfrentamos também uma espécie de colapso: polarizações, esgotamento institucional, solidão hiperconectada, guerras envolvendo comunidades vulneráveis, narcotráfico, milícias, desigualdades econômicas abissais, crise ambiental, ou seja, um mal-estar social persistente e uma sensação de fim.

**History** The [Franklin Park Conservatory](https://www.fpconservatory.org/)’s roots trace back to 1852 when the Franklin County Agricultural Society purchased 88 acres of land to host the Ohio State Fair. After the fair moved to its permanent home, the city of Columbus transformed the grounds into Franklin Park in 1884. This transition shifted the space from a temporary event site to a dedicated public green space for the growing community. The park became a central hub for outdoor recreation and early civic gatherings in the neighborhood. In 1895, the landmark Victorian-style Palm House opened its doors, drawing heavy inspiration from the Glass Palace of the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago. This iron and glass structure became an immediate icon, housing exotic plants that residents would otherwise never see in the Midwest. It remains the oldest part of the facility and serves as a primary link to the conservatory’s 19th-century origins. For decades, it stood as a singular testament to grand horticultural architecture in Central Ohio. A major turning point arrived in 1992 when Columbus hosted AmeriFlora '92, an international horticultural exhibition. This massive event prompted a $16 million renovation and expansion, adding significantly more greenhouse space and the Dorothy M. Davis Showhouse. The festival put the conservatory on the international map and fundamentally changed its scale and ambition. Following the event, the facility transitioned from a city-run park to a private, non-profit organization. In 2003, the conservatory’s identity was further defined through a long-term partnership with world-renowned glass artist Dale Chihuly. After a successful exhibition, the Friends of the Conservatory purchased most of the glass installations, creating the largest permanent collection of Chihuly’s work in a botanical setting. These vibrant glass sculptures are now woven throughout the biomes, blending art with nature. This addition helped cement the conservatory as a premier cultural destination rather than just a botanical garden. Recent years have seen the site expand beyond the glass walls to emphasize community engagement and outdoor education. The 2018 opening of the Scotts Miracle-Gro Foundation Children’s Garden added two acres of interactive landscape designed for hands-on learning. The Scotts Miracle-Gro Company Community Garden Campus also provides local residents with space to grow their own food and learn sustainable practices. Today, the conservatory balances its historic Victorian charm with modern commitments to local ecology and the Columbus community. **Maps of the Conservatory** Here is the [main map](https://www.fpconservatory.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/franklin-park-zones-scaled.jpg) of the Conservatory grounds. Here's a [map of the areas](https://www.fpconservatory.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/ConstructionMap-2026.jpg) in which the Conservatory has ongoing construction (see below). **Summary** For this event, we'll explore Columbus's highly-rated and very popular Conservatory. As mentioned above, the Conservatory is doing renovations on parts of the facility. These renovations are scheduled to be ongoing until the Fall of next year. Basically, no matter when you go to the Conservatory over the next 18 months, you're going to see some metaphorical orange barrels. So let's just go now. **Tickets and pricing** On the first Sunday of every month, the Conservatory is free for residents of Franklin County and the city of Columbus. You must bring an ID to receive this discount. (Yes, they do check.) Otherwise, tickets are $25.20. Members of the Columbus Zoo (of which I am one) do get a discount on tickets, though I have never actually bought a ticket to the Conservatory (I've always gone on free days). I believe the discount is $4. Parking is always free. If you have additional questions about pricing or whether and for what you qualify, you can reach the Conservatory at 614-715-8000. **Where we'll meet** We will meet just outside the main entrance. I guarantee there's going to be a line. The Conservatory is always popular on free days, and especially in nice weather. **Your GPS is stupid!** Be careful simply typing "Franklin Park Conservatory" in your GPS and going where it tells you. The only way to access the parking lot to the Conservatory is off of Broad Street. Unfortunately, since Google Maps is unable to find its way out of a wet paper bag, it has a tendency to want to take people to a mythical, non-existent Conservatory entrance on Nelson Road. If your GPS does this, just drive to the north side of the Conservatory along Broad Street. Your GPS should then redirect you to the main Conservatory entrance. If your GPS doesn't, then throw your phone away\* and look for the big Conservatory sign on the south side of Broad Street between Nelson Road and Franklin Park West. You also should be able to use the map pin I've provided, below, and it should properly direct you to where you need to drive. \* Don't really do this. **After the event** After stopping to smell the roses, for those that are interested, we'll head to the nearby [Columbus Brewing Company Beer Hall](https://columbusbrewing.com/location/beer-hall/) for [drinks](https://columbusbrewing.com/location/beer-hall/#draft-list) and [lunch](https://columbusbrewing.com/location/beer-hall/#food-menu). The Beer Hall's actual address is [200 Kelton Ave, Columbus, OH 43205](https://www.google.com/maps/place/200+Kelton+Ave,+Columbus,+OH+43205/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x883889a94ac4acad:0xadb2e60240dbc38b?sa=X&ved=1t:242&ictx=111) (it's literally just on the south side of the Conservatory). Be sure this is where your GPS is taking you when you use it, as the Brewing Company has a taproom on Harrison Avenue that is *not* what you want for this event. We should be at the Beer Hall by 1 if you can't make the Conservatory and just want to join us for drinks.

Sometimes it’s a massive advantage… and sometimes it can complicate your business if you don’t know what you’re walking into. In this training, we’ll cut through the “agents vs investors” drama and focus on one thing: **what makes you more money and gives you more leverage**. You’ll learn: * **When being licensed helps investors win** (better access, better data, better terms, better deal flow) * How investors use a license to **create extra profit centers** (commissions, referrals, listings, buyer rep, property management pathways) * The truth about **MLS access, pocket listings, and being first to the good deals** * How licensing impacts **wholesaling, double-closing, assignments, and disclosures** * What brokerages don’t tell you: **fees, splits, compliance, and time requirements** * When it’s smarter to **partner with an agent** instead of becoming one * A simple decision framework: **licensed vs partnered vs hybrid model** You’ll walk out knowing whether licensing fits your goals—and if it does, the cleanest path to do it without slowing down your investing.
