[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!

各位小火花與火花好友們,

又到了我們固定Meeting的時間啦! 

 

我們本周的主題是AI的影響力。

 

在這個瞬息萬變的時代，人工智慧（AI）不再只是科技公司的專利，而是已經融入我們日常生活的關鍵力量。它幫助我們更快地獲取資訊、更準確地做出判斷，甚至改善醫療、教育、交通與環境。

AI的重要性，不只是因為它能帶來效率與便利，更在於它能夠擴大人的能力。
它不是取代人，而是成為我們的輔助者，讓我們有更多時間去專注在創造、關懷與思考。

懂得運用AI，就像會使用電與網路一樣，將成為新世代的基礎能力。

 本次想要分享大家目前如何應用AI。

 

請工作人員從下方挑一題回答給主持人, 讓主持人知道怎麼介紹你唷

1. 我們可以如何使用AI來幫助我們?

2. 你常常使用ChatGPT嗎? 用它幫你做些什麼事呢?

The Influence of AI

Dear Sparks and Friends,
It's Spark Meeting time again! 

Our theme this week is The Influence of AI

In today's rapidly changing world, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is no longer the privilege of tech companies—it has become a vital force woven into our daily lives.
It helps us access information faster, make smarter decisions, and improve areas such as healthcare, education, transportation, and even the environment.

The importance of AI lies not only in its ability to bring efficiency and convenience, but also in its power to expand human potential.
It is not here to replace us, but to assist us—giving us more time to focus on creativity, compassion, and critical thinking.

Mastering AI will soon be as fundamental as knowing how to use electricity or the internet.

 All assignment takers please pick one of the following questions and send your answer to Toastmaster of Evening so she can introduce you properly during the session:

1. How can we use AI to help us?

2. How often do you use ChatGPT and for what?

 

Date: Thursday, August 14

Time: 7:30 PM – 8:30 PM

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

PS: Eat before you come—we're rolling straight through without a snack break! 

 

We can't wait to see you at Spark!

[SPARK TMC] 8/28的Meeting主題: 隨興感V.S.儀式感, 歡迎大家來參加唷

各位小火花與火花好友們,

又到了我們固定Meeting的時間啦! ✨

 

我們本周的主題是隨興感V.S.儀式感,

 

在生活中很多時候都有儀式感的存在, 某些儀式感可以表現出我們對這個主題的重視程度, 比如慶祝生日, 慶祝紀念日等等. 但有人習慣隨興, 想買個點心讓自己開心就買, 不用特別挑日子, 想約朋友吃飯就吃飯, 不用找理由

在追星族群中也是有儀式感的, 幫偶像慶祝生日, 幫喜歡的角色紀念相關的日子, 譬如某個文物被封為國寶的紀念日等等, 慶祝方式也有很多不同, 像韓國就會集資舉辦限定的生日咖啡廳活動, 或者是包下咖啡外賣車, 送咖啡給其他粉絲順便幫自家偶像宣傳, 台灣也有包下捷運燈箱慶祝角色或偶像生日的廣告看板, 這些儀式感無所不在的充斥在追星文化中.

 

本次想要討論大家在生活中, 是否有堅持一定要進行的儀式, 或者是隨心所欲就好, 這些對你的生活又有怎樣的影響呢?

 

請工作人員從下方挑一題回答給主持人, 讓主持人知道怎麼介紹你唷

1. 請問你有沒有每隔一段時間就要做的儀式? 這些儀式對你的生活會不會造成不方便, 或者是為你的生活帶來甚麼樣的改變?
2. 你會有某些儀式開切換你生活模式的開關嗎? (譬如追劇的時候一定要做甚麼, 或者做手工藝品的時候一定要做甚麼?

本次的聚會依舊是即席問答馬拉松的形式, 另外也請來參加的來賓,穿著好活動的衣物, 這次的暖身活動會需要這樣的裝扮唷! 😉

小提醒：

日期：8/28（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）

記得吃飽再來，中途沒有休息時間可以補充能量唷~

 

那就在Spark等大家來啦!!

 

A Sense of Casualness vs. A Sense of Ritual

Dear Sparks and Friends,
It's Spark Meeting time again! ✨

Our theme this week is Casualness vs. Ritual.
In daily life, rituals are everywhere. Sometimes, they reflect how much we value a moment—like celebrating birthdays, anniversaries, or special milestones.

But not everyone is into rituals. Some people prefer to keep things casual—buying a treat just because they feel like it, or inviting friends out for dinner without needing a special reason or occasion.

In fan culture, rituals are also very common. Fans might celebrate an idol's birthday or mark a special day connected to a favorite character—like the anniversary of a work being recognized as a national treasure. Celebrations can take many forms: in Korea, fans often raise money to host themed birthday cafés or even hire coffee trucks to serve drinks and promote their idol. In Taiwan, fans sometimes rent MRT lightbox ads to celebrate a character or idol's birthday. Rituals are truly everywhere in fandom culture!

This week, we'd love to hear your thoughts: Do you stick to certain rituals in your life, or do you prefer to go with the flow? And how do these choices affect your daily life?

👉 All assignment takers please pick one of the following questions and send your answer to Toastmaster of Evening so she can introduce you properly during the session:

1. Do you have any rituals you repeat regularly? Do they ever cause any inconvenience, or do they bring positive changes to your life?
2. Do you have certain rituals that act like a "switch" for you, helping you shift into a specific mood or activity? (For example, needing to do something before binge-watching a show, or before working on crafts.)

This week's meeting will once again follow our table topic marathon format.
Also, a quick reminder: please wear comfortable clothing—our warm-up activity this time will need it! 😉

 

Date: Thursday, August 14

Time: 7:30 PM – 8:30 PM

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

PS: Eat before you come—we're rolling straight through without a snack break!

 

We can't wait to see you at Spark!

 

[Spark TMC] 這周來聊聊電影配樂~ 8/14見

🎬 哪一首電影配樂一響起，就讓你回到難忘的情節裡？ 🎶💥
這週 Spark Meeting，我們要聊聊讓電影變得超有感的秘密武器——電影配樂！

👋 哈囉大家～又到 Spark Meeting 的時間啦！
最近有沒有去看《鬼滅之刃》新電影？才上映兩天，票房就突破 1 億！😱
一部電影要好看，除了導演、演員、剪輯團隊，還有一個超重要的角色——🎵 配樂 🎵

🎯 好的配樂 = 氣氛直接拉滿
🎯 錯的配樂 = 全場秒出戲

這週我們要讓配樂成為主角，來聊聊你跟電影音樂的故事！👇

本次的會議一樣是即席問答馬拉松, 即席問答的主持人會依照會議主題, 來設計問題讓大家回答唷~

 

工作人員們選一題來分享你的想法, 並回答給主持人：
1️⃣ 如果把你最近的一次旅行拍成微電影，你會配什麼音樂？有沒有一首歌剛好超適合？
2️⃣ 有沒有哪部電影的主題曲，一聽就能馬上回想起劇情畫面？為什麼？
3️⃣ 你會去聽電影配樂演奏會嗎？像久石讓、約翰威廉斯那種，為什麼？

💡 小提醒：

日期：8/14（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）

記得吃飽再來，中途沒有休息時間可以補充能量唷~

 

 

🎬 The soundtrack kicks in, and suddenly you're there again, heart and all. 🎶💥

This week at Spark Meeting, we're shining the spotlight on a secret weapon that makes movies truly magical—movie soundtracks!

👋 Hey Spark friends—it's that time again!
Quick question: have you caught the new Demon Slayer movie yet? Only two days in theaters and it's already raked in over $100 million! 😱
Sure, an awesome film needs a talented director, actors, and an editing team… but there's another hero working behind the scenes (well, behind the speakers): 🎵 the soundtrack.

💡 Here's the thing:
✅ The right soundtrack = goosebumps, emotions dialed to 100%
❌ The wrong soundtrack = instant "wait, what?" vibes

From epic fight scenes to heart-tugging goodbyes, music sets the tone and pulls you deeper into the story. Sometimes, a single melody can stick with you for years.

So this week, we're making music the main character of the night. We want to hear YOUR stories:
1️⃣ If you turned your most recent trip into a short film, what music would you use? Got a perfect song in mind?
2️⃣ Is there a movie theme that instantly takes you back to its story? Why does it hit so hard?
3️⃣ Would you go to a live concert of movie scores—like Joe Hisaishi or John Williams? Why (or why not)?

📅 Mark your calendars for this week's Spark Meeting!
🎤 Bring your stories, your favorite tunes, and let's chat about how the right music can transform a film from good to unforgettable.

🗓 Date: Thursday, August 14
🕖 Time: 7:30 PM – 8:30 PM
📍 Location: 9F, No. 115, Sec. 2, Shipai Rd., Beitou District (Yongming Community Activity Center)

PS: Eat before you come—we're rolling straight through without a snack break! 🍽

 

 

See you in Spark!
