Fri, Aug 14, 2:30 AM

This group was created to bring together people who share a passion for cybersecurity and a curiosity about how things work. The goal is simple — to connect with other humans who enjoy meaningful, inspiring, and sometimes unexpected security conversations more than just once a year. Many of us have returned from security conferences feeling both inspired and overwhelmed — full of new ideas and projects to explore, only to have life pull us in other directions. Maybe a demanding client, a new sprint, or even a new baby shifted priorities away from that funny blinky badge project sitting on a shelf. If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone. This meetup offers a space for like-minded individuals to gather once a month, share what’s captured their attention, discuss recent exploits or discoveries, and showcase projects born from curiosity or necessity. Whether it’s a half-finished experiment, a new idea sparked by a problem, or something ready for collaboration, this is a place to share and grow together. Most of all, this group encourages rediscovering that spark of curiosity — dusting off those badges, boards, and brainstorms — and diving once again into the spirit of exploration that brought us all here.

Laser Cutter Safety Training

Sun, Aug 9, 9:00 PM

Learn how to be safe while using the laser cutter! We have a 150W, CO2 laser cutter with a 3 x 4 ft bed. This training is required to use the laser cutter because we don't want people setting our most expensive equipment donation on fire. You have to do this training even if you were trained at the old space, as we have different safety features now. Training covers * Dangers of the laser cutter * How to be safe * How to put out a fire Each participant will cut a piece of cardboard on the laser cutter while following all the safety steps. This is also a good place to ask questions about specific materials or projects. There is a 5$ fee to register, and we suggest a 20-30$ donation for this class: https://donate.noisebridge.net. If the registration fee is a barrier to your participation, please reach out to the event organisers.

After the rounds, you’ll form a group of who you want to hang with. By then you’ll have a crew to play street games and explore the block party with The Plan: - 6:30PM: Check-In.

Instead, we're heading right out to grab drinks and play street games tonight, and you might just find your new starting lineup for future street festivals and game watch parties. Plus, when the block party winds down, you can easily keep the banter going and organize the next watch party through the app, without ever needing to hand out your actual phone number.

Build an AI Teammate for Your Business Workflow

Fri, Aug 7, 4:30 AM

**Bring one recurring business problem you want to improve, and build a working AI teammate with Zero.** Many founders and small business owners know AI could help, but do not know where to begin. In this small-group workshop, we will help you identify the bottleneck behind a real business task, decide whether AI is the right solution, and choose a practical first workflow. It could be finding leads, drafting follow-ups, preparing client updates, summarizing meetings, creating reports, organizing project information, updating tools, handling repetitive admin work, or supporting creative production. We will start with the problem, not the tool. Once we clarify the opportunity, we will show how Zero, an AI teammate, can help turn that workflow into a first working automation using the tools your team already relies on. You do not need a technical background. Bring your laptop and one real challenge. **You will leave with:** * **A clearer understanding of the problem** * **A concrete first AI opportunity** * **A practical next step for testing it** Participants will receive complimentary Pro access to continue exploring their workflow after the session.
