From East Bay Drone Meetup

In the tradition of the old 3DR Berkeley Flydays, we will head to the Berkeley Marina Cesar Chavez park area for an "old/new" venue of flying. Get spectacular ocean and city views, as well as beautiful trail and marina opportunities. The picture above shows the picnic area where we will meet. Walk up the trail next to the porta potties and to this picnic area. This is an off leash dog friendly area, so be aware and considerate of other park users. It gets windy during the day, so arrive early for best flight times. NOTE! Please read the directions below to find us, enter trail to left of porta potties, stay left up hill.

Fortress Mode: Arduino Motion Gates (CHM)

Tue, Jun 30, 2:00 AM

From The Bay Area Chronic Pain & Illness Peer Support Group

Step into engineer mode and build your own automatic security gate using an Arduino, a motion sensor, and a servo motor! In this hands-on class, you’ll create a mini “fortress gate” that springs open whenever someone approaches. Along the way, you’ll learn: * How motion sensors detect movement * How servo motors create controlled motion * Basic Arduino programming and wiring * How real-world smart security systems work By the end of the class, you’ll have a working motion-activated gate and the skills to customize it with lights, alarms, or secret fortress upgrades. No experience needed — just bring your curiosity and prepare to defend the kingdom. 🏰🤖 **If you have a laptop, please bring it — but come anyway if you don’t!**

**Seats are limited.** Register and complete the screening form to hold your spot. We use your answers to build balanced teams. Build a real-time AI video agent in a single day. Tavus lets you create agents that see, hear, and respond in real time. Paired with Lovable's rapid UI generation, your team ships a fully functional human-agent interface before the session ends. No engineering background required. Tavus offers white-labeled APIs and a low-code environment anyone can use. Bring a concept. Leave with a **working prototype**. **⚡ What you'll actually do** * Get a Tavus product intro, and a live hands-on API demo. * Build your own interactive AI agent in a focused sprint. Start from your own concept or use a Jumpstart Idea below. * Demo your work in a rapid-fire Show & Tell and compete for the winner's prize. **✨ What you get** * Free Tavus API credits for all builders. * Free Lovable credits and a live published URL for your completed project. * A chance to win the **team prize**. * Lunch included. * On-call experts to unblock you during the build sprint. 🎒 **What to bring** * Charged laptop * Headphones **Agenda** * 10:30 to 11:00 AM: **Arrival + Team Forming**. Grab refreshments, meet fellow builders, and form squads of 3-5. * 11:00 to 11:30 AM: **The Spark**. Welcome from ProductTank SF, Tavus platform intro, and a live API demo. * 11:30 AM to 12:30 PM: **The Build**. Start building interactive agents with Tavus and Lovable. Agents must respond in real time, not loop one-way. * 12:30 to 1:00 PM: **Fuel Up**. Provided lunch. * 1:00 to 3:45 PM: **The Build Continues**. Push to a working prototype. * 3:45 to 4:30 PM: **Show and Tell + Prizes**. 2-minute demos of your browser-based prototypes, wrap-up, and winner announcement. **Jumpstart Ideas** Need a concept? Use these as starting points: **The Retail Concierge (Shopping Assistant):** Post-purchase shipping is inflexible. Build a video avatar on the order confirmation page that lets customers reroute shipments, pause delivery, or choose pickup points, while Lovable renders the live UI. **The Talent Concierge (Onboarding Guide):** New hires drown in PDF links. Build a personalized HR avatar that walks employees through benefit elections and hardware setup, explaining the "why" while the Lovable interface captures the data. **The Virtual PM (Status Responder):** Status reports go one way. Build a Virtual PM avatar that fields questions about project artifacts. Users ask "Why is the API delayed?" and get a context-aware answer from repository data. **Special thanks to our sponsors** * Tavus: real-time conversational AI video agents. Free API credits for builders. [tavus.io](https://www.tavus.io/) * Lovable: rapid UI generation so teams ship a working interface in one session. [lovable.dev](https://lovable.dev/)

Where is AI in 2026 and Where is it Going?

Wed, Jun 24, 1:00 AM

From AI Safety Awareness Group San Francisco

**A free, public workshop with no technical background needed** For the last several years, AI systems have advanced at a pace that has stunned the public and even surprised leading experts. These systems are reshaping work, the economy, relationships, and even crime extremely quickly. This workshop will explore where AI may be in the next 1-5 years and what that means for daily life for all of us. We’ll tackle urgent and important questions like: * **Jobs**: Could AI lead to mass unemployment or will it help create entirely new kinds of work? * **Crime**: How might AI supercharge scams, hacking, and even crime? * **Companions**: Will people form deep emotional bonds or even romantic relationships with AI companions? * **Society**: How do top researchers think these trends will shape our future? **What you’ll get:** * A fast-paced, beginner-friendly overview of today’s most powerful AI systems * Live demos that reveal both the breakthroughs and the risk * Interactive forecasting exercises where you’ll test your predictions about AI’s impact against the broader community * Come ready to explore a future arriving faster than most people realize. A future that could transform not just how we work, but how we trust, connect, and even love. \*\*San Francisco Public Library 100 Larkin St. (at Grove) Mary Louise Strong Conference Room, located on the 1st Floor This is not a Library sponsored program.\*\*
