Every third Wednesday of the month Sensemakers invites speakers to share there insights and discuss challenges. For this evening we managed a great line up; Joris van Tubergen, designer, inventor and expert in the field of 3D printing and Stijn Kuipers, Lead Designer @ This is not Rocket Science.

So expect creative design, sustainable design, audiodesign, digital fabricage and a lot of inspiration!

Every 3th Wednesday, the Sensemakers Amsterdam community invites interesting speakers, this evening ao:
Boban Vukicevic is a startup mentor, supervisory board member digital transformation and university lecturer Smart Services (Internet of Things for Business) at Open University where he shares his insights on the conditions necessary for a successful IoT implementation and the associated digital transformation of a company. The highlights will be shared with us in this talk!

Every 3th Wednesday SensemakersAMS invites interesting speakers, this evening:
- Jilles Groenendijk, hardware hacker, on the importance of hacking your hardware before using it!
- Designer and Innovator Anouk Wipprecht is working in the emerging field of  "FashionTech"; a rare combination of fashion design combined with engineering, science and interaction/user experience design. Producing impressive robotic wearables with systems around the body that tend towards artificial intelligence, like her Intel-Edison based spider dress.
In this talk she will share some of her projects and the way she approaches the technical and design challenges.

This evening we have:

Thijs Turel is one of the initiators of the Responsible Sensing Lab, a collaboration between Amsterdam and AMS Institute. Goal of the lab is to use public values (such as tada.city) as a starting point for sensor system development. He will present thoughts on the role of hardware (as opposed to software) in safeguarding public interests and present two project as examples: a millimeter wave sensor for crowdedness sensing trying to push the notion of data minimization a quite a bit further than normally and the ShutterUp project, meant to democratize oversight on cameras in the city by outfitting public cameras with a shutter.

Aurore Paligot, besides her activity as a Data & Analytics Consultant (Positive Thinking Company, Tapp, Sonecom), Aurore Paligot conducts independent research projects on the interface between technology and the humanities. In this presentation, Aurore will propose a reflection on her practices as well as on the place of Data Visualization as an exploratory and reporting tool but also as a privileged point of contact with the public. She will address notions such as data literacy, inclusion, and data modeling, with illustrations from her own projects, the news, and other data visualization designers.

Every 3th Wednesday of the month SensemakersAMS hosts speakers, this evening we have:
- Jelmer de Lange, coordinator Scheepvaartinnovaties at Rijkswaterstaat who will share (learnings) from smart shipping initiatives and their experiments on the Amsterdam IJ.
- Arno Hooijboer Projectcoördinator Sensoren Waterkwaliteit at RIVM, will share the new dataportal with (citizen science) air and waterquality data (https://www.samenmetenaanluchtkwaliteit.nl/) and share some insights from their sensing projects.
- Jan Willem Smeenk from Sodaq will share his learnings on the deployment of sensors in the citizen science projects they participate in.

IoT and AI bring a lot of good, but this evening focusses on the darker side and on how deepfakes are just the latest threat in a hyperconnected society. https://www.meetup.com/nl-NL/sensemakersams/events/xgqtlrybcmbvb/
