Create your own musical instrument with custom gesture control

This will be a hands-on workshop during which we will build a digital musical instrument controlled by personalised gestures.

We will make a standalone desktop application with a web UI which embeds an existing machine learning model for timbre transfer. We will look at an example of a meaningful control of the model for creative use in interactive, real-time sound generation.

Finally, we will use interactive machine learning to define a personalised way of controlling the instrument based on a few examples provided on the fly.

• Location: Glass Room (Ground Floor)
• Time: Thursday 16th of July
• Speaker: Anna Wszeborowska

Leading Under Pressure

Teams are getting leaner, context switching is constant, and expectations stay high even when clarity is low. Under that pressure, many of us start reacting instead of leading: stepping in too often, firefighting instead of thinking, and quietly carrying load that was never ours to hold.

You do not need a title for any of this to apply. Leadership shows up in how you respond when things get tense, how you support the people around you, and where you choose to spend your finite energy.

This workshop is a space to notice what pressure does to your leadership, and to practise doing something different.

PyLadies Organizer Open Space

During this one-hour PyLadies Open Space session, we invite PyLadies organizers and allies to join a thoughtful and engaging dialogue.

The aim of this session is to discuss the current status of our individual PyLadies communities, identify shared challenges, and explore the potential benefits of increased collaboration between different PyLadies groups.

Through open and inclusive conversations, we hope to build stronger connections, foster mutual growth, and create opportunities for collective impact within our diverse PyLadies network.
