Hello everyone, We would love to invite you to a free, relaxed hands-on science evening for adults, where we will explore one of the most fascinating molecules of life: DNA. This workshop is a chance to come together, learn something new, and enjoy a friendly community exchange. The evening is free of charge, open to everyone, whether you already enjoy science or are simply curious and would like to try something different. We will begin with a short introduction to what DNA is, then we will focus on strawberry DNA and explore why strawberries are especially useful for this kind of experiment. During the session, you will also have the chance to look at strawberry cells under the microscope before carrying out a simple DNA extraction. By the end of the activity, you will be able to see real strawberry DNA with your own eyes. No previous science knowledge is required — just curiosity, a willingness to explore, and an interest in spending a relaxed evening learning together. The workshop will take place in a classroom setting, so participation is limited to 25 people. If you would like to join us, please register using the link below: **Registration link:** Discover DNA: Strawberry Science Evening \| DFN\-Terminplaner\. Please come in comfortable clothes, as we will be working with strawberries and hands-on materials. The focus of the evening is learning, exploring, and having fun with science. We look forward to discovering DNA with you! **Date:** 15 June 2026 **Time:** 18:00–19:30 We look forward to an enjoyable evening of discovery, curiosity, and community. For any questions, feel free to send me a private message. Kindly, Maria

**Designing the Next Generation of AI Experiences** AI products are evolving faster than ever. But while interfaces become smarter, trust, clarity, and usability often lag behind. Join us for an evening exploring how designers shape AI experiences people can actually understand, trust, and use with confidence. Together with leading voices from the design industry, we’ll discuss the challenges of designing for AI-driven products, emerging UX patterns, and what it takes to build meaningful human-centered experiences in an increasingly automated world. The evening will feature several keynotes, followed by a panel discussion and networking with Berlin’s design community. **Speakers & Talks** ## Speakers & Talks ​**[Rafaela Stamboroski](https://www.linkedin.com/in/rstamboroski/?utm_source=luma)** Model Behavior Designer for Joule at SAP ​**Talk: Guarding the Guardrails: The Designer’s Role as Behavior Becomes the Product** Designers have always created shared context: aligning people, decisions, workflows, and business goals around user needs. In AI-native products, this skill becomes even more critical. Strategy and systems thinking turn into behavior alignment: shaping how AI acts, responds, and collaborates with humans. ​This talk explores why the designer’s role is not shrinking in the AI paradigm. Instead, designers are moving upstream: defining guardrails, influencing product strategy, and helping businesses deliver AI value safely and meaningfully. ​**[Abanoub Awny](https://www.linkedin.com/in/abanoubawny/?utm_source=luma)** Sr. UX Designer & AI Innovator @ SAP Signavio, Founder of [Unblind UX](https://www.linkedin.com/company/unblindux/?utm_source=luma) ​ **Talk: Your Next User Isn’t Human** AI is no longer just a feature inside digital products. It is becoming an active participant in how products are used, interpreted, and operated. As agents begin to navigate workflows, consume system structures, interpret content, make recommendations, and collaborate with humans, design must evolve beyond screens and interactions. This talk challenges designers, product teams, and developers to rethink what “user experience” means when the next user of your system may not be human. ​**[Anna Herasymenko](https://www.linkedin.com/in/annaisdesigner/?utm_source=luma)** Staff Product Designer at Meta, working at the intersection of AI, systems thinking, and product craft. ​**Talk: Vibe Coding for Craft** AI products can't be designed in static tools. The behavior is the experience — and behavior only shows up when real APIs and real data are in the loop. Designing in Figma is like planning a meal with pre-chopped ingredients. Vibe coding is actually cooking it: discovering the oven runs slow, the recipe has a typo, a spice is missing. That gap between planning and cooking is where craft lives. ​This talk reframes AI-assisted coding as a repeatable workflow for designing AI experiences: stress-testing edge cases, surfacing the failure modes static design tools hide, and closing the gap between looks right and feels right. **[Kate Hofmann](https://www.linkedin.com/in/kate-hofmann-ux/?utm_source=luma)** UX design leader with an enterprise focus and experience building and managing large design teams and multimillion-dollar design portfolios. Worked closely with organisations like SAP, Boeing, Microsoft, UBS, DHL, Flexera. **Talk: The Last Dashboard. What enterprise software looks like when AI becomes the primary interface.** For decades we designed enterprise software around the same assumption that users must navigate dashboards, analyse data, interpret reports, and decide what to do next. For ±20 years we’ve been obsessed with reducing clicks, then reducing forms, reducing friction. But as software takes over more of the analysis and decision-support tasks - do users still need interface at all? What is left for UX to design, and what becomes the role of UX? **Agenda** **18:00 — Doors Open & Networking** **18:30 — Keynote Presentations** **20:00 — Panel Discussion** **20:45 — Community Networking** **Venue Host** Hosted by **[SAP Office](https://www.sap.com/germany/about/berlin.html)** in Berlin — a front-runner and thought leader in enterprise application software, focusing on innovating parts of the core business, exploring trends, and developing new technologies. **Hosts** This event is organized by [Projector Global Community](https://www.linkedin.com/company/projector-global-community/?utm_source=luma) ambassadors (by [Projector Institute](https://prjctr.com/en/about?utm_source=luma)): * [Emiliia Karpiuk](https://www.linkedin.com/in/emiliiakarpiuk/?utm_source=luma) * [Julia Savchuk](https://www.linkedin.com/in/yuliia-savchuk/?utm_source=luma) * [Yuliia Kovalova](https://www.linkedin.com/in/yuliiakovalovapm/?skipRedirect=true) **Photos & Video** Please note that we will be taking photos at this event.

I’m excited to be restarting my regular yoga classes this summer - its gonna be an amazing experience to share together🧘‍♀️☀️

I'm hosting a FREE Hatha yoga class in the park, and you're invited! Come stretch, breathe, and soak up some good energy.
Ready to bend without the pretzel stress? Hatha yoga is all about the feel-good basics. We'll flow through poses at a pace that lets you actually breathe (imagine that!), building a sweet rhythm between your body and mind. It's like giving yourself a mini-massage from the inside out, leaving you feeling nicely stretched, a little stronger, and oh-so-relaxed. No fancy contortions required, just good, honest movement🧘

But wait, there's more! Think good chats, maybe coffee, and definitely the chance to meet some awesome new folks and maybe even make a friend or two🥰
No need to be a yoga pro – all levels are totally welcome. Just bring your mat (or a towel!), some comfy clothes, water, and your friendly self.

Let's enjoy some fresh air, gentle movement, and good company together!

Meeting point - Treptower park S bhan at 6 15pm. We shall start walking to the park and find a good spot at 6 25pm. We shall coordinate in the chat. Join this WhatsApp group for live location of the event or communicate https://chat.whatsapp.com/EeWxeuKLdaNGOZD2fLVuEa

🕢 Doors open at 18:30 and sessions start at 19:00. Freestyle vocal workout at and play session. €8-20 😌 Flow is a state of being… an experience when you allow yourself to be 100% fully engaged in the present moment in a feedback loop between clarity and satisfaction. It is an undeniable sensation where things seem to be more effortless, pleasurable, in sync, and you can easily sense a connection with something greater than yourself; this is what we will create…: • a connected and mindful meditation where it is possible to blissfully surf the cutting edge of the present moment together… • a game where it’s possible to feel excited and calm in the same moment, and everyone can win as much as they like… Scott Bolden, founder of Das Baumhaus Berlin will share some very easy, practical and effective methods developed during the last 12 years of facilitating the “Improvisational Groove Orchestra” (I.G.O.) improv vocal jam sessions. Within 20 minutes participants learn to use the common sound space to create resonance in the form of improvisational music where it is quite common to experience some real flow moments… It is very easy to participate, no musical talent or training is required so anyone is welcome to join. All of the session is done with eyes closed to avoid visual distractions and keep focus on the co-created sound space. During these sessions we will also have short breaks for feedback and refreshment. Important – Please be on time. It is very important to understand the methodology and warm up in the group before joining in! 🎤 @21:00 - Freestyle vocal workshop and practice session. €8-15 Have you ever wanted to learn how to do freestyle vocalizations? Maybe you are on your way and would like to just have a fun workout session with other vocal freestyle enthusiasts. All levels welcome.
