Hacktoberfest classic

A fun and light code session where tech friends get together in a large and relaxed café space, and code! Bring your laptop (or another coding device of choice) for a great opportunity to ask questions, share ongoing projects, help each other out, and meet other awesome coders. We're all about the code, and we hope to make a space for people who like to build. Notes to keep in mind: \Guest wireless internet access is good and free Come out and work, help, or just hang out!

# ☕ The OG Coffee&Code Meetup ### A Blockspace Community × Coffee&Code Collaboration Before the hype. Before the buzzwords. Before “AI-powered everything.” This is The OG Coffee&Code—the meetup that started it all, now presented in collaboration with the Blockspace Community. No panels. No pitches. No pressure. Just good people, good coffee, and focused time to build, learn, and connect. ## What this meetup is An open, welcoming space for coders, builders, designers, and curious minds. Bring your own project, homework, startup, side quest, experiment, or idea. Work at your own pace, meet other builders, ask questions, exchange ideas, or simply enjoy being productive around like-minded people. Expect: Focused building time Organic conversations Spontaneous debugging Knowledge sharing Genuine community This meetup is beginner-friendly, expert-respected, and ego-free. ## What this meetup is not ❌ A lecture ❌ A sales event ❌ A recruiting trap ❌ A 90-minute presentation ## How it works 1. Show up 2. Grab coffee ☕ 3. Open your laptop, notebook, or sketchpad 4. Work at your own pace 5. Chat when you want and focus when you need 6. Leave having made progress—or at least a new friend ## Who should attend Software engineers and data professionals Students and self-learners Founders and indie hackers Designers, tinkerers, and technologists Members of the Blockspace and Coffee&Code communities Anyone who enjoys building things with other humans Whether this is your first Coffee&Code, you are part of the Blockspace Community, or you have been attending since day one, you are welcome. This collaboration brings together two communities around a shared goal: creating a relaxed, supportive space where people can build, learn, and connect. Come for the code. Stay for the community. Leave caffeinated. ☕🚀

This workshop will introduce NASA’s upcoming Artemis missions, emerging research areas in cislunar space, and opportunities for programmers, engineers, students, and space enthusiasts to contribute to humanity’s return to the Moon. Participants will learn the fundamentals of orbital motion, reference frames, trajectory design, and orbit propagation before exploring current research in cislunar space situational awareness, lunar landing and descent, and space robotics. The session will conclude with a short Python demonstration of selenocentric orbit propagation using planetary ephemerides. The workshop will be led by Scott Blender, a third-year Ph.D. student in aerospace engineering at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) and a researcher in the Advanced Space Concepts Laboratory. His research focuses on spacecraft guidance, cislunar space domain awareness, and lunar-surface sensor networks. He previously interned at AstronetX, a startup developing an optical system for cislunar space situational awareness. The workshop will be organized as follows: 1. NASA’s Return to the Moon Through Artemis 2. Fundamentals of Orbital Motion: Kepler’s Laws and Newtonian Gravitation 3. Two-Body Orbit Propagation, Reference Frames, and Selenocentric Orbits 4. Emerging Cislunar Research: Space Situational Awareness, Lunar Landing and Descent, and Space Robotics 5. Live Python Demonstration: Ephemeris-Supported Orbit Propagation 6. Q&A and Opportunities to Get Involved

## Claude Code vs. Codex: Loops, Graphs, and Harnesses This is a casual pair-programming meetup for developers experimenting with Claude Code, Codex, and agentic coding workflows. There is no formal presentation and no fixed curriculum. Bring a laptop, a repository, a side project, or a workflow you want to test. We will work in small groups, compare approaches, debug problems, and share what is working. Possible areas to explore include: Building iterative coding-agent loops Comparing Claude Code and Codex on the same task Designing graph-based agent workflows Creating reusable coding harnesses Managing context across large repositories Running tests and validating agent-generated changes Using sandboxes, permissions, and approval steps Coordinating subagents or parallel tasks Measuring latency, token usage, cost, and completion quality Debugging failed or incomplete agent runs You do not need to be an expert in either tool. This meetup is for people who want hands-on time to experiment, pair with other developers, and learn through building. Bring something you are working on, or join someone else’s project.
