Lab L1 — 2026
Kamloops, British Columbia
TeachWithAI prototypes synthetic learning environments, virtual education assistants and immersive AI pedagogy for Canadian educators — an innovation lab, not a generic course catalogue or corporate consulting agency.
Future classrooms are designed in labs, not inherited from yesterday's syllabi.Tour the innovation lab View lab programmes

We believe the future of education will be designed in labs, not inherited from lecture halls.
Lab Manifesto
Artificial intelligence is reshaping how knowledge is created, assessed, and shared. Yet most professional development still treats AI as an add-on — a tool demonstration dropped into an afternoon workshop. TeachWithAI exists to close that gap. Our innovation lab in Kamloops brings together educators from across British Columbia and beyond to experiment with immersive learning environments, synthetic teaching assistants, and curriculum architectures built for an AI-augmented world.
We are not a traditional training provider. We are a research-forward lab where hypotheses are tested in real classrooms, where failure is documented as carefully as success, and where every programme emerges from hands-on experimentation rather than vendor slide decks. Our manifesto is simple: educators deserve spaces to think boldly about the future, with the methodological rigour and ethical grounding that Canadian public education demands.
From school district leaders exploring responsible AI adoption to independent instructional designers building next-generation courseware, TeachWithAI offers the studio space, technical infrastructure, and collaborative community needed to move from speculation to practice. We publish our findings openly, partner with institutions on pilot projects, and maintain a relentless focus on learner agency, privacy, and inclusion.
Innovation Counter
Our Kamloops studio tracks the pace of experimentation across programmes, residencies, and institutional partnerships throughout 2026.
Six Innovation Tracks
Each track represents a distinct research and development corridor within TeachWithAI. Participants may enter through a single track or combine experiences across multiple areas depending on their institutional goals.
Track 01
Design and test spatial, narrative, and simulation-based learning experiences powered by generative AI. Participants prototype lesson flows in our synthetic environment studio and evaluate learner engagement through structured observation protocols.
Track 02
Rebuild course structures for modular, adaptive delivery. Educators map competency frameworks, design AI-assisted assessment rubrics, and validate outcomes against provincial curriculum standards.
Track 03
Explore responsible deployment of virtual teaching assistants in classroom and online contexts. Focus on transparency, human oversight, and alignment with PIPEDA privacy requirements.
Track 04
Build interactive knowledge models that let learners explore complex systems through dialogue, scenario branching, and collaborative problem-solving with AI-mediated feedback loops.
Track 05
Prototype physical and hybrid classroom layouts, technology stacks, and facilitation models optimised for human-AI co-teaching in K–12 and post-secondary settings.
Track 06
Develop institutional policies, consent frameworks, and audit processes for AI in education. Track six ensures every innovation emerging from the lab meets Canadian ethical and legal standards.
Lab Showcase
Our Kamloops campus at 450 Lansdowne Street houses prototyping workstations, a curriculum design studio, immersive environment booths, and collaborative review spaces. Natural light, flexible furniture, and an open editorial layout encourage the kind of cross-disciplinary thinking that AI education innovation demands.
Visitors to the lab encounter working prototypes — not polished demos. You might observe a school team testing a virtual teaching assistant with real students, or watch instructional designers iterate on a knowledge simulation module while collecting qualitative feedback from peer reviewers. This transparency is intentional: we want educators to see how innovation actually happens.
Lab tours are available by appointment for educators, administrators, and community partners interested in understanding our methodology before enrolling in a programme or commissioning a residency.

TeachWithAI is an independent AI education innovation lab based in Kamloops, British Columbia. We are not a university, college, or government-accredited degree-granting institution. Our programmes focus on professional development, curriculum prototyping, and experimental learning for educators and institutional teams. We do not confer academic credentials, transfer credits, or regulated teaching certifications.
An innovation lab is a dedicated space where educators design, test, and refine new approaches to teaching and learning with artificial intelligence. Unlike traditional workshops that deliver fixed content, our lab provides infrastructure, methodology, and peer collaboration for open-ended experimentation — with structured ethical review and documented outcomes.
Our programmes welcome K–12 educators, post-secondary faculty, instructional designers, school administrators, and education technology specialists from across Canada. Some residencies are designed for institutional teams of three to six participants. Individual educators are welcome in foundation and studio programmes.
Most lab work happens in person at our Kamloops studio, where access to prototyping equipment and collaborative spaces is essential. Selected components — guest lectures, peer reviews, and documentation sessions — may be available in hybrid or remote formats. Contact us to discuss options for participants travelling from outside the BC Interior.
