Innovation lab programmes
LearnForgeAI programmes are hands-on lab engagements — not passive online courses or corporate consulting retainers. Each pathway guides educators, faculty teams and school innovators through synthetic learning environment design, immersive AI prototyping and virtual education assistant development inside our New Westminster innovation sandbox.
Programme overview
Six pathways through the forge
From two-day knowledge simulation intensives to twelve-week innovation residencies, every LearnForgeAI programme is structured around experimentation, educator collaboration and ethical AI review. Participants work alongside our lab researchers to prototype synthetic environments that support — never replace — qualified teaching professionals. Pricing reflects lab facilitation, prototype tooling access and post-session documentation; custom scopes for district-wide pilots are quoted separately.
LFG-101
Synthetic Learning Environment Design
Over three intensive lab days, your team architects a synthetic learning environment tailored to your curriculum context. We begin with scenario mapping workshops that identify authentic learner challenges, then move into spatial layout design, AI agent role definition and simulation-based assessment rubrics. Participants leave with a documented environment blueprint, a functional prototype shell and a pilot deployment checklist aligned to British Columbia learning outcomes. Ideal for curriculum leads and instructional designers ready to move beyond slide decks into experiential pedagogy. Facilitation includes access to our innovation sandbox, ethical AI review sessions and peer critique from partner school cohorts.

Virtual Education Assistant Development
This five-day lab programme guides teams through the full lifecycle of virtual education assistant prototyping — from learner-needs analysis to classroom beta testing. You will define assistant personas grounded in pedagogical theory, configure multimodal response pathways and establish educator override protocols that keep human judgment central. Our lab provides sandbox APIs, conversation design templates and privacy-by-design frameworks compliant with PIPEDA. By programme end, participants deploy a working beta assistant scoped to a defined learning unit, complete with educator dashboard, feedback loops and a responsible-use policy draft. No prior AI engineering experience is required; we teach the design thinking, not just the tooling.

LFG-301
AI Knowledge Simulation Workshop
Our most accessible entry point, this two-day hands-on workshop introduces AI knowledge simulation as a pedagogical tool. Educators design scenario-based learning challenges where learners apply knowledge under simulated conditions — negotiating, diagnosing, building or debating within AI-mediated environments. Sessions cover simulation architecture, prompt engineering for educational fidelity, assessment design and bias auditing. Participants prototype at least one simulation module ready for classroom pilot and receive our lab's simulation quality checklist. Perfect for teachers curious about immersive AI who want practical, immediately applicable outputs without a multi-week commitment.

LFG-401
Immersive Classroom Experience Lab
Across four lab days, partner school teams co-develop immersive classroom experiences using spatial learning technology, digital twin environments and multimodal interfaces. We map your physical classroom constraints to virtual affordances, prototype learner navigation flows and test immersion fidelity with student focus groups under educator supervision. The programme includes hardware compatibility review, accessibility auditing and a staged rollout plan for cautious adoption. Outputs include an immersive experience prototype, educator facilitation guide and learner safety protocol. This is our flagship immersion track for schools ready to explore what future classrooms feel like — built in the lab, not purchased off a shelf.

LFG-501
AI-Powered Curriculum Design Studio
Three days inside our curriculum co-design studio where faculty teams work with LearnForgeAI researchers to integrate generative curriculum tools into existing programme architecture. We audit current learning outcomes, identify high-value AI augmentation points and build co-designed unit plans that preserve educator authorship. Sessions cover AI-assisted resource generation, differentiation scaffolding, formative assessment design and provincial alignment verification. Teams leave with a complete unit package, tool configuration documentation and a faculty adoption playbook. This programme is designed for post-secondary departments and K-12 curriculum committees seeking structured innovation — not a replacement for professional judgment.

Future Education Innovation Residency
Our deepest engagement: a twelve-week lab residency where your team embeds inside the LearnForgeAI innovation sandbox to develop a flagship education prototype from concept to pilot-ready deployment. Residents receive dedicated lab bench space, weekly research reviews, cross-cohort critique sessions and access to our full prototype toolchain. The residency follows a structured milestone framework — discovery, design, build, test, document — with ethical AI checkpoints at every stage. Ideal for districts, faculties or education nonprofits pursuing transformative prototypes such as district-wide simulation platforms, immersive career pathways or next-generation virtual assistant ecosystems. Includes showcase presentation at our quarterly innovation event.

How to enrol
From inquiry to lab bench
Programme enrolment begins with a discovery conversation. We assess your team's readiness, define prototype scope and confirm scheduling inside our Sixth Avenue lab or via hybrid lab sessions. Group sizes are intentionally small — typically six to twelve participants — to ensure meaningful hands-on time with our researchers. Custom cohort dates are available for district and faculty teams; open-enrolment sessions are listed quarterly.
