新车间 [XinCheJian]

上海静安愚园东路28号3号楼一楼 新车间 报名参加 Sign Up Time: 17:30 ­ 21:00, Monday, November 16th Personal Biography: A chemical engineer from the USA, Mike Sherretz worked in the oil and gas industry for 10 years. His chemical engineering background and ability to relate to others has allowed him to work in many places around the world. Mike is a consultant with TRI Corporation, is co­founder of Leaderstyles International Co., LTD, and ­­ more relevant here ­­ is the founder of My Homebrew Store right here in Shanghai. He made his first batch of beer in 1990, and now he’s a several time bechampion! He’s considered the godfather of beer in China, and XinCheJian is very lucky to have him stopping by. Mike says, “Everybody told me I couldn’t do it. They said that they had heard stories about people making ‘brew’, and it made people sick. So I told people, let me try it and you can say if it’s the same. I’ve been giving away wine and beer ever since with no complaints. Everybody keeps coming back asking for more.” He’s excited to teach others how to make good beer! Come join and learn how you can do it, too! Workshop Description: We’ll start with some discussion and learning, but we’ll quickly transition to go through the process ourselves, actually making a batch of beer together right here at XinCheJian. In addition, Mike will bring along some samples of his best beers for us to try ­­ at no added cost! How generous. After the workshop, the beer we’ve made will go through its fermentation stage for the next month, and then we’ll host a follow up workshop during which you are invited to come back and help bottle the very first batch of XinCheJian beer that you helped make, and we’ll give it away for your to keep! Workshop structure: 1. Mike will do a quick introduction of himself, the chemistry of the process, and an overview of the equipment needed； 2. After a brief Q&A about the steps and materials involved, we’ll jump right into actually implementing the process, ourselves. The first step is steeping the grains in a large pot. Kind of like making tea, you have to soak the grains in hot water to begin with; 3. The next step is adding the grain extract. This stuff is thick, syrupy, and heavy, and it must be stirred well to ensure that it doesn’t stick to the bottom of the pot. 4. The next step is adding the hops and turning up the temperature! Hops are those little green buds that look like tiny broccoli. They’re responsible for adding flavor, and they’re famous for giving beer that satisfying bitterness. 5. Finally, we’ll cool down the brew and prepare it for the fermentation stage. The beer needs a month or so of time for the yeast to break down the sugars and release the ethanol that makes our beer alcoholic and to release the carbon dioxide that makes the bubbles in our beer. 6. We’ll be enjoying free beer throughout the process! This workshop can help you: ● Understand the essential steps to making your own beer safely in the comfort of your own home ● Get familiar with the different types of equipment needed to make various types of beer ● Learn the chemistry of beer and what makes it so delicious ● Gain an understanding of the various categories of beer and how their flavor and alcohol content varies ● Meet other beer enthusiasts and partners for home brew collaboration What to expect: Part of the workshop will take place inside XinCheJian, and part will take place directly outside the building in the parking lot. Make sure to bring warm clothes, and bring along a flashlight, too, if you want to be able to see inside the boiling brew and notice the cool way the grains churn. The process of making beer is very safe, especially with Mike Sherretz leading the workshop, so please do not worry about any danger. People will be consuming beer at the event, and it will be a social event, but it will not become a wild party. The purpose of the event is to learn about beer. Who should enroll: Mike says, “The Craft beer market is still new (in China). Probably the first ones were the Paulaner Restaurants. However, they sold their beers only in their restaurants and things progressed slowly from there. Since there is not much variety in the commercial beers available here, it was only natural that passionate guys would try to fill that gap. So, now there is a fast growing trend of microbreweries springing up in China. This is really helping the public to be better educated about good beer and is increasing the interest in both the expat communities and the upward mobile locals.” Mike is a firm believer that anyone with passion and discipline can make good beer, and he’s eager to teach all willing students and inspire us bring more interesting brews into the world. What to bring: · Warm clothing to wear as we spend some of the time out front of XinCheJian · ­ An appetite for beer tasting ­­ you’ll be trying various types and learning the differences · ­ A flashlight (optional), to help you see the process clearly · ­ A paper notebook to write down notes about the process (we advise not bringing your laptop for this workshop) · ­ A curious attitude ­­ please ask Mike lots of questions and stay closely involved in the steps of the process If you have any questions, you can contact the workshop leader. WeChat: alec_walker Fee: Workshop: RMB 200; RMB 150 for XinCheJian Members. Due to limited space, please sign up in advance to reserve seat. Attendees who show up without sign up or inform host will need to pay double price.]]>

上海静安愚园东路28号3号楼一楼 新车间 报名参加 Sign Up Time: 13:00 – 16:00, Sunday, November 22nd Personal Biography: Before arriving at Stanford to pursue his MBA, Alec Kennedy Walker had never done any real software development, but after some basic exposure to Google Drive and the suite of free tools it offers, he realized he could use Google Script to tie together various products and make powerful web apps with very little coding. After applying some design thinking, he was able to create a professional and successful web app officially adopted into Stanford’s system that is still completely hosted ­­ frontend to backend ­­ on Gmail, Google Sheets, and Google Forms, and it only took one night! Come join the workshop to learn how you can make easy web apps, too. Workshop Description: These are the tools that developers at Google actually use themselves, and they’re available for free for the world to use! First, make sure you have a working VPN on your laptop, or else you won’t be able to participate actively in the workshop (more info on that below). In the workshop, we’ll start with a quick introduction of the suite of Google tools, and you’ll be able to play around with them right away to get used to their features and benefits. Next, we’ll take a look at some basic Google Script and see how it can help us tie together the different tools so that we can make our own web apps. Finally, we’ll work to build a real web app right there in XinCheJian together. Participants will leave with the source code and the ability to elaborate on it for their own purposes, and they’ll be able to continue working together to improve their software development skills using Google Script. Workshop structure: 1. We’ll learn how to access Google Drive and get familiar with cloud storage and sharing 2. We’ll explore the kinds of files we can create on Google Drive a. Docs, similar to Microsoft Word b. Sheets, similar to Microsoft Excel c. Forms, which is a very handy survey tool d. Slides, similar to Microsoft Powerpoint e. Drawings, similar to Microsoft Paint 3. We’ll set up Google Script and use some templates and built­in functions to explore how these tools can interact with one another 4. We’ll make a useful app together combining at least three of the tools 5. We’ll use a Wechat group and shared Google Drive folder to continue learning and collaborating after the conclusion of the workshop! This workshop can help you: ● Collaborate with colleagues on shared documents and worksheets so you don’t have to email each other drafts back and forth ● Keep your files and information safe and easily accessible across devices with free cloud storage ● Learn the basics of software development: front end and back end ● Get some experience coding and debugging your code ● Create valuable tools to solve problems and save yourself time and energy ● Meet awesome people to collaborate with remotely on fun and useful app development What to expect: The main goal of this workshop is to get you excited about doing basic coding to achieve advanced results. You’ll be following along from instructions, but there will also be some puzzles and challenges to help solidify your learning. You’ll be able to work together in groups, and although the finished app you’ll walk away with won’t be one of your own choosing, you’ll be empowered to edit it or to create your own to accomplish your individual goal. The workshop will not make you into an expert programmer, but it will help you understand that achieving powerful results has never been so easy and will motivate your continued learning. Who should enroll: The workshop will not teach software engineering in rigorous detail, but beginner programmers are encouraged to attend. The workshop will also be useful to those with some experience in software development but who have no exposure to Google Script or to Google’s suite of tools. The workshop will be collaborative, not competitive, so it’s a great place to apply skills you already have to helping others, but it’s not a good place to show off. What to bring: Make sure you bring a laptop that has a working VPN and a Gmail account. If you join the workshop with friends or family, you can share a laptop. The Chinese government blocks access to all Google tools and services, so you’ll need the VPN to regain the normal access that the rest of the world enjoys. We won’t have time in the workshop to set up VPNs or to create new Gmail accounts together. If you have any questions, you can contact the workshop leader.
