Maker Night - Work on 3D projects using laser cutter, 3D Printer at TOG
**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.

Electronics Night
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.
Public Speaking Monday Meetup - New Location
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.

TouchDesigner Meetup Dublin @ TOG HACKERSPACE
We are hosting an open **TouchDesigner** meetup with demos, hands-on learning, and space to share work with others using the software. This is part of a series of monthly events in collaboration with **[@noid_lab](https://www.instagram.com/noid_lab/)** typically on the last Wednesday each month in the space, so this month it's 29th April, 7-10pm.
**Tickets are free** \- but registration is required to secure your place\. [Click here to register](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/touchdesigner-meetup-dublin-tickets-1987679859968)
**Workshops:**
In this session we will be hosting two workshops. The first will be run by [Pauric Freeman](https://pauricfreeman.com/), the class will offer a deep dive into instancing in TouchDesigner, breaking down the core principles behind this technique and demonstrating how it can be used to create complex visuals. The session will also explore the integration of MediaPipe, showing how real-time gesture tracking can be used to control instanced systems.
Following this, Cailean will be working with ..nodes! but not in the traditional TouchDesigner sense. This small workshop will explore how the behaviour of nodes can be controlled through the Network Editor using Python scripts.
**Format:**
The session will run for around three hours in a relaxed, hands-on setting. With multiple rooms available at TOG Hackerspace, we can host beginner and advanced activities simultaneously, ensuring everyone gets the most out of the evening. The event will focus on learning, with a combination of scheduled short and long presentations/demonstrations.
The last hour will take a more flattened and open approach, allowing the space for people to chat, share, learn, and explore TouchDesigner. Expect an informal, community-driven environment where the format adapts to participants. So if you would like to bring your laptop and learn the basics, share your projects, or connect with other using the software, this meetup offers a welcoming and supportive space to do so.
The event is also a great opportunity to meet other creative technologists and artists, and to continue building the growing TouchDesigner community in Ireland.
Contact us at [noidlab.collective@gmail.com](mailto:noidlab.collective@gmail.com) to share ideas for future sessions or to express interest in presenting your work.
A special thanks to TOG for allowing us to use the space for these events, and [Derivative](https://derivative.ca/) for supporting the project. The meetups are hosted each month by a group of artists and creative technologists:
Zero to Agent: Dublin | Give(a)Go
Give(a)Go is hosting a beginner-friendly agent builder day in Dublin on **May 2nd**, as part of a global week of building around AI agents.
**NOTE: To confirm your spot register on [www.giveago.co/register/zero-to-agent](https://giveago.co/register/zero-to-agent)**
Agents are the new apps. They don't just respond, they reason, plan, and act. They browse the web, call APIs, write code, send messages, and loop until the job is done. And right now, the tooling to build them has caught up with the ambition.
This is a beginner-friendly event.
This is a day to go from zero to a working agent. Something that actually does something. Not a demo, not a prototype sitting in a notebook -- a deployed, live, usable thing with a URL you can share.
## Build tracks
You can choose one of the tracks below, or mix tools if your idea needs it.
## Track 1: Vibe coding agents with Vercel
Use Vercel’s tools to go quickly from idea to deployed agent.
This track is for people who want to build fast, prototype with natural language, create interfaces, connect tools, and ship something live by the end of the day.
**v0 + MCPs**
Go from prompt to interface, then connect your app to real tools and data.
**Workflow Development Kit**
Build durable agent workflows that can run async tasks, recover from failures, and continue across deploys.
**ChatSDK Agents**
Create agents that live inside chat-based workflows like Slack, Discord, GitHub, or your own product.
**NOTE: To confirm your spot register on [www.giveago.co/register/zero-to-agent](https://giveago.co/register/zero-to-agent)**
# Track 2: Production-ready agents with Lua
Use Lua to build agents that connect to real tools, APIs, and business workflows.
This track is for builders who want to write actual agent logic in TypeScript, define custom tools, connect external services, test locally, and deploy without managing infrastructure.
Lua is especially useful for agents that need to work across real channels like web, mobile, Slack, email, WhatsApp, Instagram, or Facebook Messenger, while handling hosting, scaling, orchestration, context, retries, and monitoring behind the scenes.
Good for builders who want to create agents that feel closer to real products: customer support agents, lead qualification agents, internal operations agents, e-commerce assistants, research agents, workflow automations, and API-connected assistants.
**What to Expect on the Day**
* A full day of focused building with other motivated builders
* Short kickoff to set direction and expectations
* Focused on hands-on learning, learning by doing
* Build solo or collaborate with someone new
* End-of-day demos where people shares what they shipped
***
## Schedule
🕙 **11:00 AM** — Doors open
💡 **11:15 AM** — Welcome + kickoff
🎨 **12:00 PM** — Inspiration & scoping
🍕 **1:00 PM** — Lunch
🖥️ **4 :30 PM** — Live demos & shipped agents showcase
**NOTE: To confirm your spot register on [www.giveago.co/register/zero-to-agent](https://giveago.co/register/zero-to-agent)**
## Global prizes
Builders who submit through the global build week will also be eligible for the global competition, with **$6,000+ in prizes**.
Top submissions can win up to **$3,000 in credits plus Vercel Pro**. There will also be a **Community Favourite** award voted on by builders globally on May 3 and 4.

Lightning talk : "Post library" ? Generic multimedia programming with Avendish
Hello Everyone,
For this meetup, I'll present a lightning talk that touches on early reflection in 2020, and where we are now.
I am a doctoral candidate at Maynooth university where I work on the ossia.io software. I have been involved with this software for a number of years, and this talk will present its plugin system called Avendish. We sometimes call it a “post library” because it is not really a library.... It has implication well beyond ossia.io, and introduced an approach in 2020 that resembles a number of recent projects leavening c++26 reflections.
As always, the good folks at Anseo are graciously letting us use their room! You can get a drink downstairs and bring it up to the room.
Avendish git repository : https://github.com/celtera/avendish
Avendish Documentation : https://celtera.github.io/avendish

AI at Irish SMEs: Insights from The Irish Times, Buymedia & Coolplanet
Curious about what Irish SMEs are actually doing with AI? We’re getting together with the folks from The Irish Times, Buymedia, and Coolplanet to look under the hood of their data stacks. They'll be sharing exactly how they use Snowflake AI to clean up messy documents, speed up data engineering, and turn weeks of work into hours. Drop by for some honest talk about what works in the real world, plus food, drinks, and a chance to catch up with the local Snowflake community.
**Right Story, Right Reader: Building a Hybrid News Recommendation Engine in Snowflake, Juliana Murphy, The Irish Times**
At The Irish Times Group — home to The Irish Times, Irish Examiner, Breaking News, The Echo, and more — we publish hundreds of articles every week. The challenge isn’t the quality of the journalism, but helping readers find the stories most relevant to them, as discovery becomes increasingly fragmented across search, social, and other channels.
In this session, Juliana Murphy walks through how The Irish Times built For Me — a pilot personalised content feed delivered three times daily to subscribers — using a fully native Snowflake architecture, with no external ML infrastructure or data movement outside the warehouse.
The session covers the full pipeline: converting article text into 1,024-dimensional vector embeddings with Snowflake Cortex, building subscriber preference profiles from behavioural data, and using native vector similarity scoring and task orchestration to generate recommendations end-to-end within the warehouse, with output delivered to subscribers via an S3 stage.
Beyond the technical build, we’ll explore the constraints unique to news. Unlike entertainment platforms, journalism must balance personal relevance with information diversity. We’ll show how editorial curation, controlled ranking logic, and user choice are embedded directly into the system design — and how those decisions shape both architecture and outcomes.
Key takeaways:
• Why editorial and ethical constraints belong in your data architecture, not just your product spec
• Building a production-grade recommendation pipeline natively in Snowflake (Tasks, Cortex embeddings, cosine similarity scoring, Python UDFs)
• What “hybrid” means in practice: combining ML signals with editorial control
• Why domain knowledge matters as much as model performance
**Accelerating Data Engineering with Snowflake Cortex Code, Jenny Zhou, Snowflake**
This demo showcases Cortex Code, Snowflake’s AI-powered coding agent designed to automate and optimize the end-to-end data development lifecycle. We will demonstrate how Cortex Code moves beyond simple code completion by leveraging platform awareness—integrating your database schema, security context, and execution logs directly into the development workflow.
**Extracting Structure from Chaos: Parsing Documents from 400+ Media Sources with Cortex AI at Buymedia, Estella Roberts, Buymedia**
At Buymedia, ingesting data from over 400 unique media sources is anything but clean. Every source brings its own document formats, layout quirks, and edge cases that completely break traditional extraction tools.
In this session, Estella Roberts shares how Buymedia transformed a manual, error-prone bottleneck into an automated, native pipeline using Snowflake Cortex AI and CORTEX.COMPLETE.
We'll dive deep into the architecture, explore the messiest edge cases, and share practical solutions for when unstructured documents refuse to cooperate.
Expect less theory, more real-world trade-offs, and actionable lessons on building resilient, modern AI pipelines.
**From Sprints to Hours: Building an AI-Powered Data Stack at Coolplanet, Niall Magee, Coolplanet**
At Coolplanet, we handle massive volumes of customer data effortlessly. But our internal business data? That started with Google Sheets, a basic BI tool, and a quiet confidence that it would scale. It didn't.
In this session, we’ll share our honest journey from a fragile spreadsheet setup to a production-grade modern data stack using Fivetran, dbt, and Snowflake. More importantly, we'll reveal how AI became our ultimate force multiplier, turning sprint-long tasks into hours-long workflows.
The highlight of the session is a deep dive into our AI-driven build process. We’ll show you how to take a plain-language brief and immediately generate dbt models, semantic layers, and functional Streamlit dashboards.
Key Takeaways:
* The AI Workflow: Practical steps to accelerate dbt, YAML, and SQL generation.
* The Stack Evolution: Honest lessons from migrating to Fivetran, dbt, and Snowflake.
* Beyond Traditional BI: Why we are shifting toward AI-scaffolded Streamlit apps.
* Snowflake Cortex: How to ground natural language queries in a governed semantic model.

Columbus Comedy Improv Meetup at Gresso's!
Whether you've never done improv before, or you've done it for so long you knew Del Close on a personal level, or anywhere in between, come join us! Swing by *Gresso's* for the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup** for some fun and games!
The idea behind improv is to create entire scenes from scratch based on a suggestion from the audience. This can be done in game form, like *Whose Line Is It Anyway*, *ComedySportz*, or *Wild 'n Out*; it could also be done to tell stories, like *Middleditch and Schwartz*. Our meetup, which is central Ohio's longest running (and free!) weekly comedy event, brings the games (and occasionally different forms) for you to play in a safe, supportive, and compassionate environment. Not only is it a lot of fun, but you get to work on thinking faster on your feet, plus it's an excellent way to meet new people and make friendships that'll last a lifetime!
Ask yourself if you want to join the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup**, and say "Yes, And" that you'll have fun!
