[Spark TMC] Spark's regular meeting is coming~

各位小火花與火花好友們，
這次是我們本月的重要例會唷！

本次的主題是：The Books

閱讀，是最安靜的對話，是作者將自身以最珍貴的方式分享。在數位時代下，我們接觸文字的方式正在改變，無論是深夜裡的床邊一盞燈配上一本厚重的紙本書，還是在通勤路上戴上耳機聆聽一段故事，在我們生命的不同階段呈現了不同的生活方式。

而像這樣我們每天都會做的事情，你有哪一些偏好，以及印象深刻的事，讓我們一起聊聊那些珍貴的經驗。

請與會者從下列問題中選擇一項，並將您的想法回傳給主持人：

Q1. E-readers, audiobooks, or good old-fashioned paper—what is your preferred way to 'read' and why?

Q2. Do you prefer re-reading your old favorites, or are you always searching for?

📅 日期：01/22（四）
🕢 時間：晚上 7:30 – 8:30
📍 地點：北投區石牌路二段115號9樓（永明社區活動中心）
🔔 小提醒：記得吃飽再來喔～這次沒有中場休息可以補能量

Hi! Sparks and friends,

This will be our important meeting this month!

Our meeting theme is: THE BOOKS

Reading is the quietest conversation, a precious way for authors to share their essence with us. In this digital age, the way we engage with words is evolving. Whether it's a heavy paperback under a bedside lamp late at night, or a story in your earbuds during a busy commute, reading reflects different lifestyles across various stages of our lives.

Since reading is something many of us do every day, we want to hear about your personal preferences and most memorable stories. Let's gather and share those precious experiences together.

Please choose one of the questions below and send your thoughts to the Toastmaster of the Evening:

Q1. E-readers, audiobooks, or good old-fashioned paper—what is your preferred way to 'read' and why?

Q2. Do you prefer re-reading your old favorites, or are you always searching for?

 

📅 Date: Thursday, Jan. 22th
🕢 Time: 7:30 PM – 8:30 PM
📍 Venue: 9F, No.115, Sec. 2, Shipai Rd., Beitou District (Yongming Community Center)
🔔 Reminder: Please have dinner before coming—there will be no break this time, so fuel up first!

See you soon.

[Spark TMC] Spark's first meeting in 2026 is coming

各位小火花與火花好友們，
這次是我們本月的重要例會唷！

本次的主題是：CARELESS（粗心 / 不小心）

在生活與工作節奏越來越快的情況下，我們常常一心多用、分心處理許多事情。
然而，一個看似微不足道的粗心行為，卻可能造成誤解、錯誤，甚至帶來無法挽回的後果。
無論是在職場、學習，或日常生活中，「carelessness」都是我們每個人都可能面對、也值得反思的課題。

我們是否曾因一時不注意而犯錯？
又是否從這些經驗中學到如何變得更謹慎、更有責任感？

因此，本週的主題將聚焦在 CARELESS。
請與會者從下列問題中選擇一項，並將您的想法回傳給主持人：

Q1. Have you ever been careless and caused the damage? What did you learn from it?

Q2. Why do you sometimes act carelessly?

希望透過這次討論，讓我們更覺察自己的行為，也學習如何在關鍵時刻多一分專注與責任感。

📅 日期：01/08（四）
🕢 時間：晚上 7:30 – 8:30
📍 地點：北投區石牌路二段115號9樓（永明社區活動中心）

Hi! Sparks and friends,

This will be our important meeting this month!

Our meeting theme is: CARELESS

In today's fast-paced life, we often multitask and rush from one thing to another.
Because of this, carelessness can easily happen—and even small careless actions may lead to mistakes, misunderstandings, or serious consequences.

Whether at work, at school, or in daily life, carelessness is something we all experience at some point.
Have we ever caused trouble just because we weren't careful enough?
And how can we learn to be more mindful and responsible?

This week, our meeting theme is careless.
Please choose one of the questions below and send your thoughts to the Toastmaster of the Evening:

1.   Have you ever been careless and caused a problem or damage? What did you learn from it?

2.   Why do you sometimes act carelessly?

We hope this discussion will help everyone become more aware of their actions and learn how to stay focused when it matters most.

📅 Date: Thursday, Jan. 8th
🕢 Time: 7:30 PM – 8:30 PM
📍 Venue: 9F, No.115, Sec. 2, Shipai Rd., Beitou District (Yongming Community Center)
🔔 Reminder: Please have dinner before coming—there will be no break this time, so fuel up first!

[Spark TMC] The only meeting in Dec. The last meeting in 2025! Join us!

各位小火花與火花好友們,

 

這次是我們在12月唯一的一次例會唷!

本次的主題是: 媒體識讀

在 AI 技術快速進步、社群平台演算法日益精準的時代，我們每天接觸到的資訊量越來越大，其中有不少內容真假難辨，甚至可能被斷章取義或刻意操弄。在這樣的環境中，培養媒體識讀能力 成為我們必備的一項技能。

面對以假亂真的訊息與 AI 生成內容，我們如何獲取正確的新資訊？又如何在第一時間察覺可疑內容？這些都是每個人都需要面對的重要課題。

因此，本週的主題將聚焦在 媒體識讀。請與會者從下列問題中選擇一項，並將您的想法回傳給主持人：

1. 生活中有沒有遇過被假消息誤導的經驗？
2. 面對愈來愈逼真的 AI 影片，您是否開始學習如何判別真假？

希望藉由這次討論，提升大家對媒體識讀的重視，也一起建立更健康的資訊環境。

日期：12/11（四）

時間：晚上 7:30 – 8:30

地點：北投區石牌路二段115號9樓（永明社區活動中心）

小提醒：記得吃飽再來喔～這次沒有中場休息可以補能量

 

Hi! Sparks and friends,

This meeting would be the only meeting in Dec.

Out meeting theme is: media literacy

In a time when AI is developing quickly and social media algorithms are becoming more and more precise in choosing, we are exposed to a huge amount of information every day.

Many messages can be hard to judge, and some may even be taken out of context or intentionally misleading. In this environment, building our media literacy skills has become essential.

With so much information—and with AI-generated content that looks very real—how can we find accurate news? And how can we quickly notice when something might be false? These are important challenges we all need to deal with.

This week, our meeting theme is media literacy. Please choose one of the questions below and send your thoughts to the Toastmaster of Evening:

1. Have you ever been misled by false information in your daily life?
2. With AI videos becoming more realistic, have you started learning how to tell what is real and what is fake?

We hope this discussion will help everyone become more aware of media literacy and work together to create a healthier information environment.

Date: Thursday, Dec 11th

Time: 7:30 PM – 8:30 PM

Venue: 9F, No.115, Sec. 2, Shipai Rd., Beitou District (Yongming Community Center)

Reminder: Have dinner before you come—no break this time, so fuel up first!
