Build a private AI app in one evening Sometimes you do not want to send your data away to someone else's cloud. You want private AI on infrastructure you can rely. Tensorix ([www.tensorix.ai](http://www.tensorix.ai/)) offers: 30+ open-weight models (DeepSeek, Qwen, Kimi and friends) on EU-sovereign infrastructure with no data retention, behind a drop-in OpenAI-compatible API. This is a hands-on workshop. Bring a laptop. You will leave with: * A working app you built yourself, running on your laptop * A pipeline that extracts text from images * A receipt classifier you can show your colleagues, and the skills to extend it * A Tensorix account, set up and loaded with free credits (pay-as-you-go after that, no monthly fees or minimums) * Pizza eaten On the night I will step through building a Streamlit app using spec-driven development, connecting it to Tensorix, and getting your colleagues using it. No AI experience needed; a little Python helps. I code in cursor so downloading that will help. But if you know another ide you will be fine to use that. If you can sign up at https://tensorix.ai/ for an account that will save some time. Tensorix are hosting us at their space and are providing the LLM credits and the pizza. It is a workshop with limited numbers so please keep your rsvp accurate if you can.

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.

**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.

og Hackerspace is teaming up with **Queer Shed Dublin Central** for a special evening of amateur radio, Morse code, hands-on demos, and community connection. **Pride Over the Waves: Amateur Radio Night** will take place in Tog Hackerspace on **Monday, 22 June 2026, from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm**. The event is free, but places are limited, so please book a ticket on Eventbrite: [https://www.eventbrite.ie/e/pride-over-the-waves-amateur-radio-night-tickets-1991936225873](https://www.eventbrite.ie/e/pride-over-the-waves-amateur-radio-night-tickets-1991936225873) Queer Shed Dublin Central is a grassroots queer skill-sharing community connecting through DIY, repair, and regeneration. We are delighted to welcome them to Tog for this joint event.  The night is linked to **Pride Over the Waves**, a grassroots amateur radio initiative created by LGBTQI+ amateur radio operators and allies to help make LGBTQI+, queer, and diverse radio amateurs more visible in the wider amateur radio community. For the evening, we will be activating the special event callsign **EI0LGBT**. ## What will happen on the night? From **7:00 pm to 8:00 pm**, we will have an informal introduction to amateur radio, with live demos and hands-on activities. There will be a chance to see radio equipment in action, learn what callsigns are, hear how radio contacts are made, and try out some Morse code. The Morse code part will be very beginner-friendly. You do not need to know anything before coming along. It is just a chance to have a go, send a few letters, and discover why this old form of communication is still loved by radio amateurs today. From **8:00 pm to 9:00 pm**, we will call into the **South Dublin Radio Club net** using the **EI0LGBT** callsign. A radio net is a regular on-air gathering where radio operators check in, say hello, and share updates. There may be a chance for visitors to say hello over the radio with support from licensed operators, subject to the usual radio rules on the night.  ## Who is it for? This event is open to everyone. You do not need a radio licence to attend. You do not need to be technical. You do not need to know Morse code. You just need to be curious. Whether you are part of Queer Shed Dublin Central, a Tog member, a radio amateur, a maker, a friend, an ally, or someone who has never touched a radio before, you are very welcome. ## Event details **Date:** Monday, 22 June 2026 **Time:** 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm **Venue:** Tog Hackerspace **Tickets:** Free via Eventbrite **Special event callsign:** EI0LGBT Book your free ticket here: [https://www.eventbrite.ie/e/pride-over-the-waves-amateur-radio-night-tickets-1991936225873](https://www.eventbrite.ie/e/pride-over-the-waves-amateur-radio-night-tickets-1991936225873)  You can find Queer Shed Dublin Central on Instagram at: [https://www.instagram.com/queersheddublincentral/](https://www.instagram.com/queersheddublincentral/) Come along, tune in, and help us put **EI0LGBT** on the air.

Most places we meet other gay men are bars, apps, or busy social scenes. This is something a little different. Gay Men’s Circle is a relaxed evening where you can connect with other men in a more real and grounded way. No pressure to perform, impress, or have the right words. Some men share what’s going on in their lives. Others simply listen and take in the conversation. Both are completely welcome. Many people say they rarely get the chance to spend time with other gay men like this. It is often surprisingly refreshing. No experience with circles or men’s work is needed. Just come along and see how it feels. ### Practical details Please bring **€5 to cover the cost of the room** No entry **10 minutes after the start time** We meet **downstairs in the Theatre Room** Ring the **front door bell** to get in (the café is closed on Mondays) If you RSVP and cannot make it, please update your RSVP so someone else can attend.

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.

**Building AI Products That Matter** explores what it really takes to turn AI ideas into products that create real business impact. Join us for an honest discussion on moving beyond experimentation, identifying meaningful problems, validating outcomes, and building AI solutions that scale in production. Expect practical insights, lessons learned, and real-world perspectives from teams actively delivering AI products. **🔹 Talk 1: Building AI Into Products: Why Some Efforts Fail Before They Begin** AI is rapidly becoming a core part of modern products, with teams increasingly able to add powerful capabilities in a matter of days. When done well, it can unlock entirely new user experiences, drive efficiency, and create meaningful competitive advantage. But while the technology has never been more accessible, successfully integrating it into real products requires more than just plugging in a model. Many teams move quickly to add AI features without first addressing the underlying foundations — particularly data quality and workflow design. The result is often inconsistent outputs, low adoption, and systems that struggle to deliver real value at scale. In practice, AI tends to amplify the strengths and weaknesses of the environment it operates in, making these prerequisites critical. **Speaker:** [Cathal Ó Riain](https://ie.linkedin.com/in/cathal-o-riain-298b8a1), Director of Data Products at Cubic³ Through roles with Accenture, Aon, Flutter and Cubic, Cathal has experience building and scaling data-driven products and AI-enabled systems in enterprise environments. In this talk, he explores the key foundations required to effectively integrate AI into products — from preparing high-quality data to embedding AI into processes where it can genuinely add value — along with practical lessons on how to set AI initiatives up for success from the outset. **🔹 Talk 2: The Customer Insights Stack: What It Really Takes to Build (And When You Shouldn't)** Every company sits on a huge amount of customer insight data - call recordings, support tickets, sales conversations - that rarely gets revisited. At the same time, building internal AI tooling has never been easier, leading many teams into a “build everything” mindset. But when building becomes cheap, deciding what’s actually worth building becomes the real challenge. Teams often end up with fragmented tools that don’t scale, are difficult to maintain, and fail to deliver clarity or adoption. **Speaker:** [Richard Blythman](https://ie.linkedin.com/in/richardblythman), Co-Founder & CEO of Naptha AI Richard has experience building both custom enterprise solutions and scalable productized platforms in this space. In this talk, he explores the spectrum from lightweight AI workflows using Claude Code to fully productionized customer insight systems, including the trade-offs, investment considerations, and performance comparisons against custom-built solutions. **What to Expect:** * **Interactive Q&A:** Bring your toughest product challenges; our speakers are ready for your questions. * **Networking:** As always, we’ll have plenty of food and drinks to fuel the conversation. It’s the perfect opportunity to reconnect with familiar faces and meet new people from Dublin’s product community. **⚠️ RSVP & Check-in Information** Please RSVP **only if you can attend in person.** **Transport:** The venue is easily accessible via the Green Luas Line, with direct access from Dublin City Centre. Thursday, Jun 25 · 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM IST Cubic³ Office Dublin · The Hive, Carmanhall Road, Sandyford Industrial Estate, Dublin 18, D18 Y2C9 See you soon!

## An Introduction to Abstraction // A weekend workshop with Artist Nuala Clarke // Saturday June 28th & Sunday June 29th // 10:00 - 16:00 **BOOK HERE - https://www.tickettailor.com/events/skillsets/2204721** We are delighted to welcome back Artist Nuala Clarke to Flux Studios to teach a weekend painting workshop exploring the world of abstraction. If you have ever had a desire to paint abstractly but don't know how to go about it, this class lays the groundwork with practical exercises in a relaxed, and experimental atmosphere. In this workshop we will take a look at our own preferences, connect to ourselves through the senses and find ways to make non-figurative work infused with personal vision. Abstraction is a means of noting that which has no fixed physical form. Colour, shape, texture and the ineffable can be combined to make an object which expresses that which has no words. Most people have important relationships with colour – we will be taking a deep look at our own preferences. This course is for all levels, no experience of working abstractly or with water based media is necessary. Some materials will be provided, though a small materials list will be sent to each participant. **Course Fee: €270** **Your Tutor:** Nuala Clarke is a visual artist and writer. Born in Dublin, she moved to New York City after attending NCAD. She lived and worked as a painter in NY for 20 years. Her work is exhibited in the US and Europe, is held in many private, public and corporate collections. She is represented by & Claremorris Gallery in Co. Mayo. In 2007, Clarke received a fellowship and residency to The Ballinglen Arts Foundation, in Mayo. This area became the locus of her work and she moved there in 2013. Meanwhile, she began collaborating with Crystal Gandrud. Together they wrote and imaged an artful, irreverent commentary of Atisa’s Lojong Slogans titled Radiating Outwards, Incrementally, A Manual, published in 2024. Clarke has been conducting research into the healing probabilities of abstract art since 2020 prompted by her study of the Irish Natural Philosopher and alchemist Robert Boyle (of Boyles law). She has presented papers at the Robert Boyle Summer School, and was awarded an Irish Arts Council Bursary for experimental research. She was most recently commissioned to honour Robert Boyle with abstract paintings at The John Sterne Library at Trinity Medical School, in Dublin. Her book Irish Moss of a Dead Man’s Skull was published by The Owl Circus in March 2025.

Extensions allow developers to customize the editor with new features, integrations, and workflow improvements tailored to their needs. In this session, we’ll cover what extensions are and the different types available, including full extensions written in TypeScript or JavaScript, along with lighter-weight extensions such as color themes, language packs, language support, code snippets, and keymaps. We’ll also look at practical reasons a developer might create an extension, from automating repetitive tasks to adding custom tooling. The session includes a hands-on walkthrough of creating a new extension, testing it locally, and understanding the basic project structure. We’ll close with a brief overview of how extensions are packaged and published to the Visual Studio Marketplace and other distribution options. **YouTube Link** TBD
