Grab a cozy sweater and join me for an evening under the stars at Sundown Cinema's screening of The Parent Trap.

After those rounds, you'll pick the folks you clicked with the most. We'll match you up into smaller squads of four to six, and from there, you'll grab a spot on the lawn together to watch the movie. By the time the movie starts, you're sitting with a crew of new friends to share blankets, popcorn, and favorite nostalgic scenes. Whether this bunch becomes your regular outdoor cinema squad or just great company for tonight's feature presentation, it's going to be a really fun night. The Plan: - 7:00PM: Check-In. Follow the link to set up your quick profile on your phone. - 7:05PM - 8:25PM: One-on-One Rounds. The app pairs you for focused chats. Find out who shares your favorite nostalgic movie memories, film recommendations, and outdoor spots. - 8:25PM+: Form Groups & find a spot on the lawn together to watch the movie. Reconnect with your favorite matches, form groups of 4-6, and find a spot on the lawn together to watch the movie — your group leaves together tonight. **RSVP via:** https://app.gistirl.com/event-details/GGfSielza1Xhz80HMU5j **Early Bird Discounts | More $ Later**

Participants can take their piece with them and finish fabricating it in the shop at a later time.

In this talk, I’ll share how I first used AI to build my personal website despite not being a frontend developer, and how that experience gave me the confidence to build an internal AI tool for a sales team. I’ll walk through the architecture, the role of the knowledge base and memory layer, where vibe coding helped, where it created confusion, and the practical checkpoints I now use to stay in control of the development process. Attendees will leave with a realistic framework for using AI coding tools to move faster without becoming disconnected from the systems they are building. * 8:10 pm: Networking * 9:00 pm: End of event **Event Sponsor** * Apify **Code of Conduct** Please review and agree to adhere to our [Code of Conduct](https://kit.pyladies.com/en/latest/policies/coc.html?utm_source=luma) to participate in our community.

Laser Cutter Safety Training

Sun, Aug 23, 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.
