What happens here
What to expect.
- 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 guide how the work is documented.
Room trust
Youth, classrooms, and consent come first.
The group keeps youth-centered practice, consent, privacy, and classroom context at the center of how education work is discussed and documented.

Context
What the room is working through.
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?
Reusable patterns people build
The practical work includes classroom norms, policy questions, consent practices, resource lists, workshop flows, and shared language educators can reuse.
Consent practices
Youth identities, classroom-specific stories, and consent-sensitive media are handled with clear permission and care.
Story so far
Beyond the tired cheating debate.
Ed + AI 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 without being small-minded. People trade what is working, name what is not, and build reusable patterns that help in real life: norms, rubrics, consent practices, resource lists, and workshop flows.
The strength of the group is the mix: 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.
Bring a classroom challenge, a youth-program question, a parent concern, or a tool that needs a reality check. The room works best when lived experience and technical imagination sit at the same table.
