Board Game Fun Night @ Hal5 in Kessel-Lo
1. **Always RSVP before attending.**
2. **Limited spots:** RSVP does not guarantee a spot — please check if you're on the main list or the waitlist.
3. **WAITLIST notice:** Please don’t take a spot from someone who signed up in time — only attend if you’re off the waitlist. You may move to the active list if someone cancels, which can happen the day before or even on the day of game night.
4. **Be on time:** If you’re more than 20–25 minutes late, you likely can’t join a table — we won’t restart game explanations for latecomers. You may wait for the next game.
5. **Take care of the games:** The people hosting the evening kindly bring and share their own private — and often quite expensive — games. Please don’t bend the cards (these aren’t just cheap poker decks!), be gentle with the components, and make sure everything goes back neatly in the box.
6. **Be present, not on your phone:** Please give your attention when someone is explaining the rules — especially the person hosting the game, who took the time to prepare and make sure everyone can enjoy it. This is a game night, not just a casual bar hangout, so please respect their effort and the focus of the other players.
7. **No double booking:** On Wednesdays, another game night is organized at the same time by another group, the International House of Leuven (IHL). If you sign up for both events, we will automatically remove you from our list. Please don’t be rude by occupying a spot that someone else could use — respect both communities and let everyone enjoy a fair chance to join.
Wednesday's Badminton Social
You can now join us for some friendly Badminton games on Wednesdays too! All levels welcome!
IMPORTANT: in order to secure your place you’ll need to both book a spot on Meetup AND pay €8 by Sunday 18h00. This is to make sure we can cancel courts if demand isn’t there, and make sure we’re being fair to people on the waiting list.
Refunds will only be possible after Monday AM if another player is definitely able to take your spot
Always worth joining our Whatsapp group as well for faster, often better, updates:

Deutscher Stammtisch in Präsenz
Liebe Freunde der deutschen Sprache,
Alle, die gern deutsch hören bzw. sprechen möchten, zu unserem nächsten Treffen ein. Wenn Ihr eine Frage oder ein Thema habt, über das Ihr gern sprechen möchtet, seid Ihr herzlich willkommen. Hier habt Ihr Gelegenheit, Eure Deutschkenntnisse aufzufrischen bzw. zu verbessern und mit Teilnehmern aus aller Welt zu plaudern.

Ich freue mich auf interessante und lebhafte Gespräche.
Education
Our last meetup before the summer break... 😀
What is the purpose of education?
How should we order our priorities: acquiring knowledge, developing skills, assimilating values, ... ?
To what extent should the role of education be to train students for future employment?
Until which level of education should schooling be obligatory in today’s world?
What should be the most important subjects comprising universal general education?
Tailoring to individual differences vs moulding all students towards shared norms: what is the ideal balance?
What is the ideal distribution between generalization and specialization?
What qualifies a person to teach? What are the most important qualities a teacher should have?
What should the roles of teacher and student be? How should teacher and student interact?
How should students interact among themselves? Competition? Cooperation?
Is passing exams a necessary component of learning? Is it sufficient?
How can we determine the difference between "objective" education and propagandistic education?
How separate or intertwined should state and school be?
Does paying for one's (or one's children's) schooling compromise/prejudice that education?
What, if anything, is missing or can be improved in our current systems and cultures of education?
How is A.I. changing education?
Is education increasingly turning into the urgent task of arming humans against A.I.?
How can we best continue learning lifelong?
How can we improve our learning *how* to learn?
"Learning is a lifelong process; learning to learn, a lifelong task."

Customize the IDE: Building Extensions for Visual Studio Code - Alan Barber
**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
You will need to scan your ID at the door to get a visitor badge.
**Abstract**
*Customize the IDE: Building Extensions for Visual Studio Code*
Visual Studio Code is one of the most widely used development environments today, and much of its flexibility comes from its extension ecosystem. 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.
