I liked to do an "Eng Weekly" meet where we took a deeper dive on some technical thing. Might involve someone doing some research and showing off something they learned, or doing a deep dive on some tech we used or looking at data structures or design patterns in our code base that could be improved in some non-obvious way.
Anything was fair game as long as it was technical and interesting. My main goal was to level-up the team a bit, show them how fun actually building stuff was vs adding a dependency of some 3rd party service or library, and have some fun just nerding out a bit on what other stuff was going on in OSS or the community at large.
