Architects and Designers Casual Catchup

Welcome to the group! ☕️✨ Thanks for stopping by! I recently started this group with the idea of bringing creative minds together - designers, architects, artists and anyone who loves creativity and good conversations. The idea is simple: coffee, conversations, new connections and a little inspiration. I’m really looking forward to meeting you all, hearing your stories, sharing ideas and building a fun creative community together. Come join us, it would be lovely to have you! 🤍

OzBerry - IoT Makers @ Chatswood Library

**OzBerry – Saturday, October 17th, 2026** I would like to apologise to our 3216 OzBerry members, as I will also be away this month. It is my one day of the year that I volunteer with the Scouts, and this time they have chosen Saturday rather than Sunday. They are also keen for me to be at a new location: https://jotajoti.info/ The good news is that Rod W will be doing the setup again. I’ll be using the micro:bit as part of a Morse code demonstration, so unfortunately I’ll miss catching up with Dave again. I hope he comes along anyway! I’ll also miss seeing all the latest creations and hearing all the stories from you all. I’m sorry to miss another get-together, and I hope everyone has a great time. **🌟 Normal Kids Session** 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM The library has already booked in the kids by now. Please offer support if they need it. **🎉 General OzBerry (Happening alongside the kids' session)** 10:00 AM – 12:30 PM Just our general group in the background quietly working on the latest projects. **🍽️ Lunch Break** 12:30 – 1:00 PM – Grab a bite and relax! **💬 1:00 PM Normal OzBerry Session** We will not be combining with the Robotics and AI group for September and we are in the Creator Space all day. 🧳 **4:00 PM – Wrap Up** Pack up, head home, maybe write a bit more code, and dream up something fun to share next time. I hope that you can make it this month. I'll be back ... I promise ! Cheers Erik

Join us for the launch of Ben Pecotich's new book Lead Change That Matters: Design the Conditions for Momentum! Your ticket includes all the usual SydDT goodness… plus a set of limited-edition Lead Change That Matters cards that we’ll use on the night to catalyse conversation and help you choose your own journey.

Ben will share some of what he's learnt, then we’ll explore the five elements of Conditions for Momentum through conversations about our own work. You’ll use your set of the Lead Change That Matters cards to open up those conversations and help you choose your own journey through the evening… and beyond. You’ll take your own complete set of cards home to keep exploring – on your own and with your team. Come along!

AI Project Hub

Welcome to **WSTI's AI Project Hub**—the hands-on heart of the WSTI community's AI Shed model. This isn't a traditional class or a lecture. It’s a weekly, drop-in "Shed" designed for collaborative, project-based learning, where we support each other turning ideas (beginner or ambitious) into real, working prototypes and projects. Whether you're a founder with a specific problem, a developer testing a new tool, or a complete beginner curious about what you can make, this is your space to build, learn, and collaborate. **What to expect:** * **Quick Pitch:** To spark some inspiration, we’ll have a few informal, low-pressure "progress check-ins" where attendees can briefly share what they’re working on. * **Space to Build:** No formal lectures here. Just a supportive environment to polish your prototype, refine your code, or finalise your pitch. * **Guides on the Side:** Our technical mentors will be mingling in the room. They’re ready to offer a helpful nudge, architectural advice, or a tool recommendation if you hit a roadblock. * **Community Wisdom:** If our mentors don’t have the answer, they’ll connect you with someone else in the room who does. We’re all about sharing what we learn. * **Curiosity is Welcome:** You don’t need a hackathon project to pull up a chair. If you’re a regular from our Project Hub looking to share your knowledge, or just a curious neighbour. We have community laptops with access to some AI tools if you aren't able to bring your own. **Tools/Topics discussed may include:** * ChatGPT, Claude, Google Gemini, Opensource AI Models. * Platforms like n8n and other automation tools. * Coding vibe coding like Lovable, Replit, Antigravity and Cursor. * Frameworks such as BMAD. * Image and video generators like Midjourney, Nanobanana and Video models such as Kling, Veo & Seedance. *By attending this event, you consent that you may be photographed and recorded on video. These photos and videos may be used for marketing and promotional purposes in the future. If you have any concerns please let the team know upon arrival.*

SydJS: Stay tuned

What’s even better than uncovering insights into a rising technology? Getting to stand on the shoulders of giants to look ahead. The team are working to prepare another great evening. Keep an eye on your inbox and we’ll let you know when RSVPs open!
