# Scottish Technology Club Bulletin — Week 12, 2025

There are lots of exciting technology events across Scotland this week on JavaScript, testing, Rust, Data & AI and Tech for Inclusion. I am organising EdinburghJS on Tuesday, with Jaime Torrealba speaking and Ljupche hosting. We'll be live-streaming on the [YouTube Channel](https://www.youtube.com/@scottechclub) where you can also [view a trailer for the event](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s73ZHa2g4Aw).

CityJS London (April 23rd-25th) is giving away a ticket to our community. Enter via the [online form](https://tally.so/r/3X8QKL). I'll be doing a draw at the end of the week. If you fancy attending anyway, you can get a [discount ticket using our promo link](https://fwtrack.cityjsconf.org/fsales/email/track/click?hash=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJkYXRhIjp7Im11c3RoIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly90aS50by9jaXR5anNjb25mLWxvbmRvbi9jaXR5anNsb25kb24yMDI1L2Rpc2NvdW50L0VkaW5idXJnaCUyMEpTIiwibGlvbiI6IjEzZGZlZSIsImdvcmlsbGEiOiI2ODViZTlkYmYiLCJ0aWdlciI6ImZ3dHJhY2suY2l0eWpzY29uZi5vcmcifSwiaWF0IjoxNzM4MzM3MjA0fQ.NCKi3QCq8OvAuG0TgI0c5EKBpYtjb_QYQowybYC5HX0~eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJkYXRhIjp7ImhvcnNlIjoiamFtaWUubWNoYWxlQHRlbGFjby5jb20iLCJjYW1lbCI6IjY4NzZmZGE5NyJ9LCJpYXQiOjE3MzgzMzcyMDR9.mFVYGP-hl4VemEK-k5jMWC79hcbPcOW9OKwABqjzMhw).
