From Ace Makerspace

From Engineers: Mission Creatives Meetup

This class will cover the basics of using the small CNC milling machine at Ace. Each student will be given a part to fabricate, and will learn mounting, locating edges, using a fly cutter, drilling, pocketing and chamfering. Participants can take their piece with them and finish fabricating it in the shop at a later time. Note that we will be using the Mach 3 software to control the mill directly rather than a generated file.

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 30, 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.

Gaga (Handball/Dodgeball variation) & Other Lawn Games @ Alameda Gaga Court

Sun, Aug 30, 7:30 PM

From Bay Area Social Scene

4.7

Join us for games of **GAGA**! Gaga is similar to handball and is a low-impact, fast moving fun game that rotates players quickly, so its a great way to meet new people and keep moving! The location of the court on Alameda island is here: [https://maps.app.goo.gl/VeqmD6oz6AbAksYB8 ](https://maps.app.goo.gl/VeqmD6oz6AbAksYB8) The rules of Gaga are super simple and as follows: * *All players start with one hand touching a wall of the pit.* * *The game begins with a referee throwing the ball into the center of the pit.* * *Once the ball is in play, any player can hit the ball with an open or closed hand.* * *If a ball touches a player below the knee (even if the player hits himself or herself) they are out and they leave the pit. If a player is hit above the knees, the play continues.* * *Players cannot hold the ball* If you have any other games like spike ball, cornhole, or soccer or volleyballs, please feel free to bring them as well! We will have some additional activities set up on the sides for people to play and socialize while in between games of gaga.
