AI in Education Meetup #3
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.
After our packed house at ED + AI #2, the energy is clear: educators across BC are hungry for practical tools + ethical guardrails. We heard from K‑12 teachers, post‑sec instructors, youth program leads, parents, students, EdTech builders, and policy folks... all wrestling with the same tensions.
"Education has two jobs: explicit outcomes and the tacit work of becoming a human. My worry is we'll keep the first and forget the second." - Professor from ED + AI #2
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.
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.
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.
