**On a whim** Have you ever done something impulsively - a haircut or a tattoo you regretted, a random date that turned into a relationship, a passion project that became a career, a trip that went sideways, or a purchase you indulged in? Tell us all about your spontaneous decisions that led to memorable outcomes. If you couldn't make it to the first pitch workshop, here is another opportunity for you to do so! The *On a whim* live storytelling show is on Wednesday, 24th June. If you’ve got a story or just an idea in mind, come to one of our pitch workshops at the end of May. If your story is shortlisted for the show, our host will work with you as you polish and rehearse it. 📌 Story Requirements: * Your story must be true * It must be told in the first person—you are the main character * It should be between 5-10 minutes You don't need to have a completed or polished story ready - just a beginning idea is okay. This workshop is open to individuals at all levels, first-timers or old hands. The purpose of Hong Kong Stories is to help you become a better storyteller. Everyone has a story to tell, and everyone loves a story. Note: Please update your RSVP, ideally 12 hours before the event if you're unable to make it. Repeated no shows will be moved to not-going / removed from the group to open up slot for people on the waitlist.

Date: 30 May 2026 (Sat) Time: 15:30 - 18:00 \*HKT Coordinator: Ming Tou, Alex Au Light Refreshments will be available! This is a **workshop** for Python Data Cleaning. Please bring along your laptop with **Python3 installed with enough battery**! *Winners will get a small prize as an accomplishment **in the next meetup**.* **Due to the university entrance policy, we are currently closed for new university QR code entrance registration. Please feel free to join us by registering yourself under the university entrance counter!** ***Mind the Data Gap*** **This model will be delayed due to: missing values, outliers, and delimiter congestion.** In this hands-on HKPUG workshop, we are turning a Python data cleaning exercise into a gamified team sprint. You will work with a **synthetic Hong Kong-inspired transport dataset**. The data is messy on purpose: missing values, weird outliers, inconsistent categories, URL-encoded station names, confusing delimiters, and fields that look useless until you extract the hidden signal. Your mission is simple: **Clean the data. Extract better features. Run the scorer. Beat the model.** You do not need to tune the model. You need to **rescue the data**. ***How the Challenge Works*** Teams will write a Python data transformation script to clean and enrich the dataset. Our scoring pipeline will then: 1. Run your transformation on the training and test data 2. Remove any label / target leakage columns 3. Train a fixed Gradient Boosting model 4. Evaluate the model using proxy metrics such as F1 and ROC-AUC 5. Convert the result into a data cleaning score This is not meant to be a perfect data quality metric. It is an accessible proxy: if your **cleaning** and **feature extraction** help the **model perform better**, your team gets a better score. **Capacity:** 60 (Team of 4) **Venue Info:** City University of Hong Kong, Kowloon Tong (Exact Location TBC) **Rundown:** **30th May** **15:30 – 15:40** Opening Remarks, Team Formation & GitHub Setup **15:40 – 15:55** Briefing: Data Traffic Report, Challenge Rules & Scoring Pipeline **15:55 – 16:20** Demo: Messy Dataset, Data Cleaning Strategy & `transform.py` **16:20 – 17:10** Team Sprint Part 1: Missing Values, Outliers & Category Cleanup **17:10 – 18:00** Team Sprint Part 2: Feature Extraction, Hidden Signals & Scoring Iterations **18:00 -** Networking outside City University **13th June** **\- 23:59** Winner Team Announcement **Audience pre-requisite:** * **Hardware:** **MUST** bring a laptop with Python 3 installed and a code editor (VS Code, PyCharm, etc.). * **Skills:** Recommended having basic to intermediate-level knowledge of Python (handling JSON, using the `requests` library, and writing basic `if/else/while` loops). **How to join?** 1.

In this session we'll explore strategies to protect our codebases through unit and integration testing, documentation, and code review along with additional ways of providing context and guard rails to our AI agents as they carry out the work we've assigned them to do. By the time we're done, you'll have a firm grasp of the problem and understand some helpful options for protecting your codebase from vibe coding mishaps getting YOLOed into prod. **YouTube Link** https://youtube.com/live/BltmWMH1zG0?feature=share

Fast track • Arrange a time to shadow a COUNT volunteer. Call Dave Nohle at 614-268-9558 (cell). • Show up and try it out. • Complete application, etc. later. Normal process • Complete an online application (http://rmhc-centralohio.org/volunteer/). • Attend orientation in advance. • At orientation you will complete forms agreeing to keep family/patient info private and allowing a background check and tour the facility. • Complete one training shift. Daily shifts are: morning 9 AM - 1 PM, afternoon 1 - 5 PM and evening 5 - 9 PM. • Schedule shifts online using the on the RMH scheduling system (http://www.volgistics.com/ex/portal.dll/?FROM=32895).
