What happens here
The public shape of the room.
- Educators, youth-program leads, parents, builders, and neighbours compare what is happening in classrooms and community learning spaces.
- The group turns lived tensions into practical norms, templates, workshop formats, and questions for policy or school leadership.
- Consent-first media and youth-centered practice set the boundary for how the work is documented.
Privacy-safe by design

Youth-powered community partner and host context.
Public context
Open the threads without exposing the private room.
Working questions
What helps teachers now? What protects student agency and privacy? How do we move beyond cheating panic into humane assessment, AI literacy, and culturally responsive learning?
Artifacts people build
The public-facing work is practical: classroom norms, policy questions, consent practices, resource lists, workshop flows, and shared language educators can reuse.
Privacy boundary
The page does not publish youth identities, private workshop outputs, or classroom-specific stories. Public partner and event links are used instead.
Story so far
How this community became one of the pillars.
Ed + AI: Education Meetup is where BC + AI and Ethos Lab move past the tired cheating debate and into the harder questions: access, consent, learner agency, teacher workload, cultural context, and what humane learning looks like now.
The group is practical. People trade what is working, name what is not, and ship small artifacts – templates, norms, rubrics, workflows, and workshop formats that help in real life.
Its strongest signal is the blend: educators, youth, parents, technologists, policy people, and community builders sitting in one room without pretending the system is simple.
Join
RSVP for the next meetup, bring a classroom or community challenge, and come prepared to imagine and build with others.
