Nijmegen Tabletop Testing Night #77
*(🇬🇧 English below)*
Voordat een bordspel of kaartspel kan worden uitgegeven, moet er veel aan het spel getest worden om zeker te zijn dat het leuk is, duidelijk is en altijd goed werkt. Daarom komen we **elke 2 weken** met spelauteurs uit de regio samen om prototypes van spellen te testen en ze zo beter te maken en misschien ooit wel gepubliceerd te krijgen.
Om 8 uur verzamelen we bij [StartUp Nijmegen](https://startupnijmegen.nl/) voor een speltestavond. Afhankelijk van het aantal aanwezigen en prototypes dat er wordt meegenomen (neem zelf ook iets mee als je wilt) vormen we een aantal groepen. Bij kleinere spellen kun je in de loop van de avond van groep wisselen, bij grotere spellen moet je dat even overleggen.
**Ook als je zelf** **geen spellen maakt** of een spel hebt dat je wilt testen, ben je natuurlijk van harte welkom. Het is voor ontwerpers heel fijn om de mening van zo veel mogelijk andere mensen te krijgen. En heel eerlijk: het testen van nieuwe spellen is ook gewoon heel leuk!
We gaan door tot een uur of 11, maar voel je vrij al eerder naar huis te gaan. Er is **gratis koffie** **en thee** bij StartUp Nijmegen. Voor fris, bier of wijn wordt een kleine bijdrage gevraagd. StartUp Nijmegen ligt tegenover het station. De auto kun je parkeren in de naastgelegen Keizer Karelparkeergarage (50 cent per uur). Er is hier ook een afgesloten fietsenstalling.
De testavonden in Nijmegen zijn elke **2e dinsdag** en elke **4e woensdag** van de maand. Zet die dus vast in je agenda (tip: zet met [deze iCal link](https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/c_d2267afce516f9296468270649b3f44da6c06cbc0bc3de05f049992373db5f4f%40group.calendar.google.com/public/basic.ics) ze automatisch in je agenda)!

🇬🇧 **For English-speaking guests:**
Before a board game or card game can be published, it must undergo extensive testing to ensure that it is enjoyable, clear, and always functions properly. Therefore, **every 2 weeks**, we gather with game authors from the region to test prototypes of games, thereby improving them and, perhaps, getting them published someday.
At 8 PM, we gather at [StartUp Nijmegen](https://startupnijmegen.nl/) for a game testing evening. Depending on the number of attendees and prototypes brought (feel free to bring something yourself), we form several groups. For smaller games, you can switch groups throughout the evening, but for larger games, you should discuss this.
**Even if you** **do not design games** or have a game you want to test, you are, of course, very welcome. It is very beneficial for designers to receive feedback from as many people as possible. And to be honest: testing new games is just a lot of fun!
We continue until about 11 PM, but feel free to go home earlier if you wish. There is **free coffee** **and tea** at StartUp Nijmegen. A small contribution is requested for soft drinks, beer, or wine. StartUp Nijmegen is located opposite the station. You can park your car in the adjacent Keizer Karel parking garage (50 cents per hour). There is also a secure bicycle parking facility here.
The testing evenings in Nijmegen are every **2nd Tuesday** and **4th Wednesday** of the month. So be sure to mark those in your calendar (tip: automatically add them to your calendar with [this iCal link](https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/c_d2267afce516f9296468270649b3f44da6c06cbc0bc3de05f049992373db5f4f@group.calendar.google.com/public/basic.ics))!

Discover what is happening in the next few days
🌸 Online Women’s Circle | Meditation & Journaling – Relax the Belly
🌸 **Free online gathering**
**Next circle: March 15**
After this, we will continue meeting on the **first Sunday of each month**.
A space to begin the month by returning to yourself.
This women’s circle is an invitation to give yourself one hour to pause, slow down, and reconnect with your body, your inner voice, and other women. A simple and caring commitment: beginning the month with meditation and journaling in community.
You can think of it as a small personal ritual, creating the habit of listening to yourself, writing, and setting intentions for the month ahead.
We meet online on Sunday afternoons to gently transition into a new week and a new month, creating a moment of presence, reflection, and intention.
During this 1-hour session we will explore:
✨ a guided meditation to arrive in the body
✨ a journaling practice to connect with what is alive in you
✨ a space for sharing, where you are welcome to speak or simply listen
No previous experience is needed. You are welcome just as you are.
Please have a notebook and a pen nearby, and join from a quiet space where you won’t be interrupted during the session.
You are welcome to join once, or come back each month. The choice is yours.
The first circles are offered for free in order to create community and open this space to more women.
Participants who register for the event will receive the **Google Meet link** before the circle begins.
It will be lovely to welcome you into this space 🌿
Real Estate #3: Kasteel Broekhuizen — A Country Estate of Ruins & Hidden Stories
**Sunday, March 15th – 13:00**
**Meeting point:** Bus stop *Donderberg*, Leersum
For the third edition of **Real Estate**, our series dedicated to exploring some of the most fascinating villas, estates and historic residences in the Netherlands, we head to the green heart of the Utrechtse Heuvelrug to discover **Kasteel Broekhuizen**.
Hidden among forests and rolling landscapes near Leersum, Broekhuizen is a country estate with **medieval roots and a turbulent history**. Over the centuries, it has known periods of prosperity, destruction and reconstruction — and today it stands as a quiet witness to how history, landscape and architecture continuously reshape each other.
During our walk, we’ll explore the **estate and its surrounding park**, uncovering stories about:
* the rise and fall of the estate
* its phases of destruction and rebuilding
* hidden corners and forgotten traces in the landscape
* and the role of the **Van Nellesteyn family** in shaping its history
This is not just a visit to a beautiful country house, but a journey through **layers of time**, where nature and history are deeply intertwined.
### Practical information
* **Walk length:** approx. 3.4 km
* The route goes through parkland and forest paths, so comfortable shoes are recommended.
### After the walk
We’ll finish at **Bistro LOF**, the café/restaurant located within the castle estate itself, where we can enjoy a drink together — and for those who wish, also stay for something to eat — in a setting that perfectly complements the atmosphere of the place.
A hidden estate.
A story of loss and renewal.
A walk through history in the landscape.
Java Bootcamp: The Grand Finale Hack Hour
The **Women Coding Community (WCC)** is wrapping up our Java Bootcamp with a high-energy, hands-on **Hack Hour** session. This isn't just a presentation—it's a community coding event where we build the future of our platform together.
***The Theme: "Building for the Community"***
We are focusing on practical Java projects that directly support the **Women Coding Community** mission. Whether you are a beginner focusing on core Java or an intermediate developer ready for Spring Boot, we have a path for you.
**Choose your approach:**
**\- The Architect:** Come with a specific Java project idea and your initial implementation. Use this time to pair program with mentors to solve bugs or add features.
**\- The Catalyst:** Just bring an idea! Connect with other attendees, form a team on the spot, and spend the evening coding a prototype with us.
***AI Tools in Practice: Accelerate Your Java Development***
We'll explore how AI assistants can accelerate your Java learning and development. Live demos and discussion covering:
• Using Claude, ChatGPT, and JetBrains AI for debugging and code generation.
• Best practices for prompting AI when learning a new language
• What to trust, what to verify, and when to push back on AI suggestions
• Comparing tool strengths for different Java use case
***Project Inspiration***
All ideas are centered around enhancing the **WCC ecosystem**. Pick a level that challenges you:
**Basic: Core Java & CLI Tools**
* **WCC Member Directory:** Build a command-line tool to manage member profiles (name, skills, location) using Java Collections and File I/O.
* **Event Attendance Tracker:** Create a system to track check-ins for our meetups using the Java Date/Time API.
* **Coding Challenge Generator:** Develop a tool that randomly selects Java exercises for members to practice.
**Intermediate: Spring Boot & APIs**
* **WCC Job Board:** Create a REST API for members to post and filter tech opportunities.
* **Community Blog Platform:** Build a backend that supports Markdown posts and author profiles for WCC contributors.
* **Skill-Tracking Dashboard:** Develop a platform for members to track their learning journey and visualize progress.
*Mentors will be on hand throughout the evening to guide you through the vibe coding process, answer questions, and help you get unstuck.*

AI Next Level - Prompting like a Pro & Using AI Responsibly
**Meer snelheid, betere output én verantwoord gebruik van AI in je dagelijkse werk.**
Je hebt de **AI Essentials** onder de knie.
Je experimenteert met prompts, ziet de potentie en gebruikt AI inmiddels regelmatig.
Maar je voelt ook: dit kan scherper, sneller en bewuster.
In deze **AI Next Level-workshop** zetten we de volgende stap.
Geen herhaling van de basis, maar verdieping.
Meer grip op prompting én meer inzicht in wat verantwoord AI-gebruik in de praktijk écht betekent.
**Wat houdt deze workshop in?**
Deze interactieve dag bestaat uit twee nauw verbonden onderdelen:
**1\. Prompting like a Pro**
Je gebruikt al een basisstructuur voor prompts — nu is het tijd om door te schakelen.
In dit deel leer je:
* Geavanceerdere promptstructuren die sneller tot betere output leiden
* Hoe je minder hoeft te “stoeien” en gerichter kunt werken
* Hoe je AI effectief inzet als denkpartner bij complexere vraagstukken
* Hoe je context, rol en doel zó meegeeft dat je output direct bruikbaar wordt
Het resultaat: **meer snelheid, meer kwaliteit en meer vertrouwen in wat je terugkrijgt.**
**2\. Using AI Responsibly**
Minstens zo belangrijk — en vaak onderschat.
AI is krachtig, maar niet neutraal en niet zonder risico’s.
Hoe ga je daar professioneel mee om?
Je leert onder andere:
* Welke informatie je wel en juist niet in prompts moet verwerken
* Hoe om te gaan met privacy, vertrouwelijkheid en bedrijfsinformatie
* Hoe AI-modellen zijn getraind en wat dat betekent voor de antwoorden
* Hoe je bias, aannames en “mooie maar onjuiste” output herkent
Dit deel helpt je om **bewuster, veiliger en professioneler** met AI te werken — voor jezelf én je organisatie.
**Hoe werken we?**
Net als bij de Essentials-workshop geloven we niet in zenden, maar in **samen ontdekken**.
* Praktisch en interactief: werken met je eigen cases
* Creatief en laagdrempelig: leren door te doen
* Leren van elkaar: verschillende rollen, contexten en perspectieven
* Geen technische training, geen tool-overzicht
* Wel: denken, beoordelen, toepassen en verbeteren
De ervaring leert **dat de groep een groot deel van de waarde bepaalt** — en dat hoor je terug in de feedback.
**Wat neem je mee na afloop?**
Na deze workshop:
* Werk je sneller en gerichter met AI
* Weet je welke prompts écht werken voor jouw werk
* Kun je AI-output beter beoordelen en bevragen
* Ga je bewuster om met data, privacy en betrouwbaarheid
* Weet je concreet wat je maandag anders doet
En:
**Drie weken later organiseren we een vrijblijvende terugkom-call,** waarin deelnemers ervaringen delen en leren van elkaars praktijk.
**Voor wie is deze workshop bedoeld?**
Deze workshop is bedoeld voor:
* Professionals en managers zonder technische achtergrond
* Deelnemers van de AI Essentials-workshop (of vergelijkbare basiskennis)
* Mensen die AI al gebruiken, maar daar meer rendement en zekerheid uit willen halen
* Iedereen die AI professioneel, bewust en verantwoord wil inzetten
**Pilot & praktische informatie**
Deze workshop is opgezet als **Next Level-pilot**.
Dat betekent: kleinschalig, persoonlijk en met ruimte voor feedback om de training verder te verfijnen.

AI, Agents & Testen
𝗔𝗜 𝗶𝘀 𝗴𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗰𝘂𝘁 𝗻𝗮𝗮𝗿 𝗸𝘄𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗶𝘁 – 𝗷𝗶𝗷 𝗯𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗱𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗲𝗹.
AI-tools, agentic oplossingen en LLM’s lijken het vakgebied Software Testen opnieuw te definiëren. Sommigen beweren dat AI straks al het denkwerk overneemt. Dat we alleen nog prompts hoeven te schrijven en de rest vanzelf gebeurt...
❌ Spoiler: nee dus.
Nieuwe technologie vervangt ons testers niet; het daagt ons uit om scherper te denken, slimmer te werken en onze rol opnieuw vorm te geven. AI is geen magie. Het is een krachtig hulpmiddel, mits jij de regie houdt.
We duiken in de beperkingen van AI, zoals het gebrek aan context, creativiteit en betrouwbaarheid én hoe jij als tester die gaten opvult. We gaan hands-on aan de slag met onder andere de Playwright Agents en kijken kritisch naar de waarde van deze toepassingen. Want AI kan veel, maar geen verantwoordelijkheid nemen. Geen risico’s inschatten. Geen ethische afweging maken.
Daarover gaat deze Plug-In workshop, gebaseerd op ons manifest: Testen & AI.
Wat kun je verwachten?
➡️ Een kritische blik op AI in het testvak en specifiek testautomatisering
➡️ Praktische tools en technieken die nu al werken
➡️ Een hands-on oefening met LLM’s
➡️ En vooral: veel ruimte voor discussie, reflectie en inspiratie
👉 De toekomst van testen vraagt niet minder denkwerk, maar juist méér. En precies dáárom ben jij onmisbaar.
Inclusief eten, netwerk en sparringspartners. De sessie is gratis (parkeren ook).
***LET OP: Dit is een hands-on sessie, dus neem je laptop mee en zorg ervoor dat je applicaties erop mag installeren!***

Bad Girls Book Club March 2026
**Our March pick is *God of the Woods* by Liz Moore.**
**This month’s novel is an award-winning literary mystery that blends family drama with psychological suspense. It explores women’s voices and relationships while delivering an exciting, eerie, and deeply suspenseful story. The book is 576 pages in print or 14 hours and 35 minutes on audiobook.**
Early morning, August 1975: a camp counselor discovers an empty bunk. Its occupant, Barbara Van Laar, has gone missing. Barbara isn’t just any thirteen-year-old: she’s the daughter of the family that owns the summer camp and employs most of the region’s residents. And this isn’t the first time a Van Laar child has disappeared. Barbara’s older brother similarly vanished fourteen years ago, never to be found.
As a panicked search begins, a thrilling drama unfolds. Chasing down the layered secrets of the Van Laar family and the blue-collar community working in its shadow, Moore’s multi-threaded story invites readers into a rich and gripping dynasty of secrets and second chances. It is Liz Moore’s most ambitious and wide-reaching novel yet.
Making Moves: Small-Group Coaching for Women in Product
## Hey Columbus WIP peeps!
## Are you ready for an event that actually gives you what you asked for??
**\-\-\-\-\-\-**
**A Small-group coaching conversations for women in product navigating growth, leadership, and career decisions.**
**March 10 \| 5:30–8:00 PM**
**Rev1 -- NEW SPACE**
**330 Rush Alley #100**
**Parking Options:**
• **Rev1 at The Peninsula**
• **Starling St. Garage South** – 377 W. Capital St.
• **LAZ Parking (COSI)** – 50 Belle St.
• **LAZ Parking Limited** – 375 W. State St.
• **Veterans Memorial Lot** – 300 W. Broad St.
• **Metered Street Parking**
**What moves are you making?**
A promotion you’re working toward.
A role change you’re considering.
A bigger leadership opportunity.
A conversation that needs to happen.
A decision that’s been sitting in the back of your mind.
For our Q1 Women in Product Columbus event, we’re creating space to actually work through those moments.
**Making Moves** is an evening of focused, facilitated coaching conversations with experienced mentors from our local product community. This isn’t a panel. It’s not passive networking. It’s small-group dialogue designed to be thoughtful, practical, and worth your time.
Here’s how it will work:
• You’ll choose a topic that reflects what you’re navigating right now
• You’ll join a small coaching circle (5–7 participants)
• Each circle is led by a mentor who has lived experience in that area
• We’ll run two rounds so you can go deeper or explore a second conversation
### Coaching Topics:
• Communicating the Value of Your Work (or Team)
• Career Transitions & What’s Next
• Growing Into Leadership
• Staying Relevant as Technology (and AI) Changes
• Getting Alignment and Decisions from Leadership
Our goal is simple: you leave with clearer thinking, practical perspective, and at least one next step you feel confident about.
Space in each circle will be limited to keep conversations meaningful.
If this sounds like the kind of room you’ve been wanting to be in, we’d love to see you on March 10.

Shut Up & Write!® East Side Columbus
Join us for an hour of writing! We’ve discovered that it’s strikingly helpful to write with other writers. See if it’s true for you at 7:00pm on Wednesday, March 25 at Streetlight Guild.
Be it a book, blog, script, essay, dissertation, resume, melody, poem or just plain work stuff, you are invited to write it with us. No one will see what you've written or give you unsolicited advice. Instead of just thinking about writing, come and get some real writing done.
**SCHEDULE:**
6:45ish - Quick introductions
7:00 - Timer starts: write for 1 hour
8:00 - The End
**OPTIONAL SOCIALIZING** happens before and after the writing hour. Writing is very solitary. Connecting (and sometimes even commiserating) with other writers is a cool thing.
**BEING LATE IS OKAY:** just show up and get settled! If you were on time, please be willing to make room for the friendly latecomer.
Happy writing & I look forward to seeing you at Streetlight Guild!
**WHAT SHOULD I BRING?**
Whatever you need to be able to write! You're welcome to bring earplugs/headphones if noise will bother you!
**OTHER IMPORTANT DETAILS:**
* **RSVP:** Please RSVP by 6:00pm the evening of the meeting. This helps me know how many to expect, and if we'll need additional space!
* **COVID:** While masks are not required, please be mindful of the other writers around you and their comfort levels.
* **WIFI/OUTLETS:** Outlets are limited, so please ensure your devices are charged when you come! But Streetlight Guild does have free WiFi! Yay!
