Creative Code Stammtisch
**⭐ DOORS OPEN AT 19:30. PLEASE ARRIVE BEFORE 8PM! ⭐**
The Creative Code Stammtisch is a casual show-and-tell for artists, makers, designers, coders, performers, learners and anyone interested in the use of computing skills for artistic expression.
The event is free and open to all, regardless of age, origin, gender or experience. Beginners and first-timers should feel especially welcome! You don't have to be a coder yourself 😃
HOW TO FIND US?
Find Prachtsaal Studio by crossing the courtyard next to Cafe Augusta on Jonasstr. 22, 12053 Berlin.
WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT?
We start with quick introductions, then open the floor to anyone who wants to present something. There are usually around six 10-minute slots available, plus time for questions from the audience. First-timers are encouraged to share their work.
Topics range from net art to computational design and interactive installations all the way to wearable electronics or generative poetry. If you’re wondering whether your own project might fit, take a look at the [Stammtisch archive](https://creativecodeberlin.github.io/Stammtisch/) to see what others have shared in the past.
This event is *not* just for coders! New-media artists and anyone working with technology in their art are very welcome to share. If you enjoy art and/or technology, you’ll likely have a great time, and maybe even learn something new!
BEGINNERS WELCOME!
If you’re new to creative coding, you can find beginner-friendly resources at [creativecode.berlin/learn](https://creativecode.berlin/learn).

Building better tests with AI
**🎟️ Registration for this event is done via the MoT page, not on Meetup.**
**Register here 👉 [https://www.ministryoftesting.com/chapters/mot-berlin/events/mot-berlin-050626](https://www.ministryoftesting.com/chapters/mot-berlin/events/mot-berlin-050626)**
Hello Berlin, we're back!
After the last get-together where we started shaping the Berlin chapter, we're excited to invite you all together again for an insightful evening focused on AI Test Generation, community discussions - and YOU! The evening will bring together industry experts to share their knowledge, ask questions and learn something new. Whether you're a developer, QA engineer, or tech enthusiast, you'll gain valuable perspectives and practical experiences.
**✍ Registration:**
Reserve your spot by clicking "Attend" on this page.
Note - Participation is limited to 30 participants only.
**❓ What to Expect:**
• Talks from experienced speakers
• Networking with the local community
• A chance to speak on stage with 99 second talks
• Swag and goodies from MoT and our sponsors, TestMu AI
**🎤 Quality Talks**
*AI Test Generation: What Actually Works (and What Doesn’t)*
*Ruslan Strazhnyk - Founder & CEO @ QualityMax*
Every QA tool vendor will tell you AI generates perfect tests. After building an AI test generation platform - and dogfooding it on our own codebase - I can tell you what actually happens. This talk is a practitioner’s honest debrief. I’ll walk through two years of running multi-model AI against real web apps: what produces usable tests, what produces confident-looking garbage, and where the failure modes hide.
Specifically, I’ll cover:
* Why reading code isn’t enough - AI generates plausible tests from source, but they fail on real UIs. Crawling the live app changes everything.
* The selector problem - LLMs reach for brittle CSS selectors by default. How to force better strategies without prompt-engineering every call.
* Assertions that rot - AI loves asserting exact text and prices. Why your generated suite breaks on the first content change, and how to catch it before CI does.
* Multi-model routing - no single model wins at everything. What we learned running GPT-4o, Claude, and Gemini on the same flows.
* Self-healing in practice - the gap between “it healed” and “it healed correctly.”
You’ll leave with a clear framework for evaluating any AI test generation tool - or building your own - based on what the output actually does under pressure, not what the demo shows.
Level: Intermediate, assumes familiarity with Playwright or similar frameworks
*99 Second Talks*
Have something to share about testing, tech, or teamwork? Whether it's a win, a challenge, or a wild idea — you’ve got **99 seconds** and a room full of curious, supportive people. Take the stage!
**🕰️ Schedule:**
17:45 - Doors open (arrive early to mingle!)
18:00 - Welcome and Introduction
18.15 - Ruslan Strazhnyk: AI Test Generation: What Actually Works (and What Doesn’t)
19:15 - 99 Second Talks and networking with food and drinks
**📍Location:**
Assecor GmbH, Storkower Straße 207, 10369 Berlin

**About Me:**
Hi, I’m Julia ([@worldflaneur](https://www.instagram.com/worldflaneur)). With a background in architecture and photo editing, I guide participants to see and photograph urban spaces in new ways – focusing not only on buildings, but on the stories and layers behind them.

KIT Berlin ([@kitstudioartspace](https://www.instagram.com/kitstudioartspace)) invites you to an exhibition of paintings by Wiola Stankiewicz [@wiola_stankiewicz](https://www.instagram.com/wiola_stankiewicz/) “Now it Makes Sense, Isn’t It?” and a musical performance by Antonio Bastos [@antonio__bastos](https://www.instagram.com/antonio__bastos/)
Now It Makes Sense, Isn’t It? continues the “Emotional Algorithm” project — a series of paintings built from intuitively selected screenshots, private photographs, and images found online.
The images are combined like an emotional bajaderka (a Polish layered dessert traditionally made from mixed leftovers, fragments, and combined remains) — sometimes through color, contrast, or an unexplainable feeling that they simply belong together. The works explore screen aesthetics and digital ways of perceiving images. Meaning often appears only later. And sometimes not at all.
Wiola Stankiewicz is a visual artist born in Elbląg, Poland, currently living and working in Coimbra, Portugal. Her practice focuses on painting, collage, and assemblage, using mixed media techniques and experimental material processes.
Working with icons of popular culture, landscapes, found images, and photographs from her personal archive, Stankiewicz builds a coherent and autonomous visual language based on intuition and process. Her works function as images of an open character, in which meaning emerges from the relationships between image, material, and gesture.
Antonio Bastos turns vulnerability into stage, community into sound and instinct into creation. From electronics to tradition, from improvised lyrics to shared movement, his music is born live and unfolds into a visual, emotional experience. With dozens of releases and festival shows, he was awarded People’s Choice at the IPMA (USA), blending performance with community creation — involving choirs, schools and local groups of all ages. Each concert is a seed sown in the territory, where the audience also becomes creator.

Afternoon Walk+Coffee in Berlin: Sonnenallee/Treptower/Kreuzberg👣🚶🚶♀️☀️🥐☕🍪
1 EURO DONATION FEE PER PERSON IS REQUIRED (on site, in cash), to pay back the Meetup subscription fees and support my Events.
READ THE DESCRIPTION WITH THE INFO (IMPORTANT).
We take a walk in Berlin to meet new people or people we already know 😁
It's a way to spend a few hours together on a Sunday afternoon.
**How it works?**
The concept is very simple:
* We meet at Sonnenallee Station at 14,15 o'clock (we use the Whatsapp Chat to find each other: I will post there my exact location outside the station)
* I wait for people for 10 minutes, till 14,25, then we start to walk direction Treptower Park, crossing the park 🌳🌳🌳 and going along the Spree river, to then go further
* We go on along the Landwehrkanal, exploring Kreuzberg 🏠
* The total length of the walk is about 8kms
* We land finally here to take coffee, a drink, or some food, and spend more time together ([https://maps.app.goo.gl/RsUCxwDKK6yVtiF48](https://maps.app.goo.gl/RsUCxwDKK6yVtiF48))
I consider that the event will last in overall around 4 hours (2 hours of walk 🚶🚶♀️ and 2 hours at the Cafe/Restaurant), but people are free to stay together longer, if they want 🙂
What I provide is leading the walk and the people at the Cafe, but I do not force anyone to stay shorter or longer.
I do not provide a "personal support" for people who arrive after 14,25 (do not write to me expecting "private support").
You are responsible to check for the weather and decide if come or not.
Thanks for understanding.
If you have to contact me, make it via Whatsapp, not here on Meetup.

Founders Running Club :: Berlin
**Founders Running Club** (FRC) brings founders, investors, tech, creative people and startup enthusiasts together for weekly easy runs and networking.
Every Saturday morning we gather together and run through Tiergarten.
Join us in one of these 3 routes:
\* **5K** – for new & beginner runners
\* **7K** – for regular runners
\* **11K** – for more experienced runners
**OBS**: We are usually around 30 people, between regulars and newcomers (from here and from Luma), so don't be scared if there are not a lot of people confirmed on the event here.
The pace is chill and conversational, around **6:30**.
On the 7k and 11k some people like to push a bit more, but no one gets left behind.
We finish with a nice coffee and amazing conversations.
The vibe is always great.
Pets, friends, family, are welcome.
