# Scottish Technology Club Bulletin — Week 22, 2026

It was great to host EdinburghJS on "Coding the Coder" last week. It's clear that there is a tremendous amount of interest in AI tools. We [livestreamed the session](https://www.youtube.com/live/oH7PoFgKtME?si=c9fj0pGz49LNEJKy&t=67) so you can catch up on YouTube if you missed it. Be sure to subscribe to the [Scottish Technology Club YouTube channel](https://www.youtube.com/@scottechclub), as it's where we post all of our livestreams. Dennis, who spoke at the event, is running [Makers Gonna Make](https://luma.com/dlgjqfrg) this Saturday. There is a waitlist for the event, but you can [subscribe to the Luma calendar](https://luma.com/mgmmmmm) for future updates.

This week is [DataFest](https://thedatalab.com/datafest/) in Edinburgh, and a selection of meetups across Scotland.
