**Friday is our open co-working day.** ​​Friday is our open co-working day. Arrive anytime from 10AM — bring your laptop, grab any open seat, stay as long as you like. ​Most people show up after lunch and settle in before The Stage. It's quiet, focused, and builder- and founder-led. ## **​The Stage @ 3:00pm ⚠️ *Special timing this week*** ​🇸🇪 Because this week, we're cohosting 45 Swedish PhDs from the WASP (Wallenberg AI, Autonomous Systems and Software) programme, with Business Sweden. ​**Dark Labs and Physical AI: How Autonomous Laboratories Are Rewriting the Rules of Scientific Discovery** ​*Dr Lars Henrik Skjolding, Founder & CEO, A1 Stealth Labs Pte. Ltd.* ​The R&D loop hasn't fundamentally changed in a century. Most lab equipment sits idle overnight. Discovery to market still takes a decade. ​That's breaking. LLMs capable of scientific reasoning, Bayesian experimental design, and robotic lab platforms are converging into autonomous laboratories, systems that run themselves, steer toward optima, and generate data while you sleep. ​This talk covers dark labs (lights-off, robot-only execution), physical AI (embodied intelligence under real-world uncertainty), and the 1000× acceleration logic: 10× from AI hypothesis triage, 10× from Bayesian design, 10× from robotic throughput. ​Using A1 Stealth Labs as a live case study, we will run through what the stack looks like, what clients buy, and how a broad-spectrum IP strategy builds a durable moat. ***​It closes with the question that matters: what will a materials scientist actually be doing in 2035?*** ​After the session, we go back to work.

These classes focus on weapon practice. Many aikido techniques have their origin in weapons handling and thus are related with Japanese weapon arts like Kendo. Using a weapon as an extension of the hand, it generates higher impact speed and creates different danger and distance perception. On the other side, perfection of cuts and draws is a very meditational and focused practice. Despite danger, the mind should stay clear and movements should be very precise. As a result of weapons training, students polish their hands and body technique – with more precise movement, coordination and martial awareness. These are the main aspects of the classes: * Iaido * Jodori * Kenjutsu * Tantodori ### **Booking Information** * Please contact **98225900** to find out how to book this class. * The instructor will reach out to you once you've booked the class ### **Cancellation Policy** Credits will be considered used if class is cancelled within 24 hours before the start of the lesson

**First meetup of the Columbus AI Engineering group.** We’ll kick things off with a practical, beginner-friendly discussion on: **How LLMs like ChatGPT actually work — and how to build real applications with them.** We’ll cover: * what’s actually happening under the hood (at a high level) * why LLMs behave the way they do (hallucinations, prompt sensitivity, etc.) * how people are building real systems with them today * where things break in practice This will be a **short, informal talk (\~15–20 min)** followed by open discussion and Q&A. Whether you’re an engineer, builder, or just curious about how modern AI systems work, you’re welcome to join. No slides, no fluff — just real conversation about real systems. We’ll hang out afterward and get to know each other.

Let's bedazzle some books while we discuss our April pick: Bloodguard by Cecy Robson! Book description: One hundred years. Tens of thousands of gladiators. And today, only one will rise… Everything in the Kingdom of Arrow is a lie. Leith of Grey thought coming to this new land and volunteering to fight in the gladiator arena—vicious, bloodthirsty tournaments where only the strongest survive—would earn him enough gold to save his dying sister. He thought there was nothing left to lose. He was wrong—and they took everything. His hope. His freedom. His very humanity. All Leith has left is his battle-scarred body, fueled by rage and hardened from years of fighting for the right to live another day. Then Leith meets Maeve, an elven royal who is everything he despises. Everything he should hate. Until the alluring princess offers him the one thing he needs most: a chance to win the coveted title of Bloodguard—and his freedom. But in a kingdom built on secrets and lies, hope doesn’t come cheap. Nor will his ultimate revenge… Event: Please bring your own book, journal, bookmarks, etc to bedazzle. If you have bedazzling supplies, please bring them as well. I will supply gems, glue, and picker tools, but if you have certain colors in mind, you may want to bring your own.

**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you. The building address is 4450 Bridge Park The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400 **Abstract** Web Forms gave .NET developers a powerful abstraction for building reusable UI controls long before design systems were a thing. Web Components finally bring that same idea to the browser natively. This session explores how the Web Forms mindset translates into Custom Elements, Shadow DOM, and HTML templates. We’ll examine how Web Components enable design systems that work across frameworks, how they differ from server‑driven controls, and why they’re becoming a foundational layer for modern UI. Whether you’re maintaining legacy apps or building greenfield projects, you’ll leave with a practical understanding of how to apply familiar patterns in a modern, standards‑based way. **YouTube Link** TBA
