AI in Education Meetup #2
AI is already in the hallways, homework tabs, and makerspaces. Let’s gather to trade what works, laugh at what didn’t, and shape a BC‑rooted path forward.
Hosted with big love by Ethọ́s Lab × BC + AI.
Education shouldn’t be an afterthought in AI... it should lead.
The ED + AI initiative inside BC + AI brings people together to slow down, compare notes, and design with care: consent‑first, equity‑minded, place‑rooted.
We’re here to weave practical tools with ethical guardrails so classrooms, after‑school programs, and community labs thrive.
What to expect
Informal, intentional circle: more community kitchen than conference. Bring a story, a tool, a question.
Short talks & demos — practical ways people are using (or not using) AI in lessons, assessment, and creative projects.
Open dialogue & reflection — make room for tensions (youth data, consent, bias) and name what support you need.
Community building — leave with collaborators, a shared doc, and two next steps.
Who should come
Educators (K‑12 & post‑sec), youth‑program leads, librarians, students, parents/caregivers, EdTech builders, researchers, designers, artists, technologists: all curious neighbours welcome.
If you see learning as public infrastructure and teaching as a creative act, you’re home.
Big love to Ethọ́s Lab
Ethọ́s Lab is a youth‑powered innovation studio centring Black futures and community imagination. Their space, leadership, and care make ED + AI possible.... thank you for holding the centre and keeping the vibe welcoming and bold.
