As students and technology evolve, how is education changing to meet the needs of the new learner? What technologies or techniques will encourage learning? Where are the pain points for educators and learners? This Design Educators Summit seeks to explore the connections and disconnects of education with the goal to stimulate learning.

Teach Like No One Else Can
, 
presented by
 
Meg! Lewis
Why teach like everyone else when you have something only 
you
 can offer? By digging into your perspective, personality, strengths and values, Meg helps you craft an education style so unique and impactful that it transforms more than just your students' experience, it reshapes the entire future of design education! When your teaching comes from an authentic place, you don’t just prepare students for what’s next, you inspire them to imagine it differently. The future of design is waiting, and it starts here, with you!
10:30 -10:45 AM: Break
10:45 AM- 11:45 PM: Workshops
Choose one of two:
1. 
Developing Unicorn Assessments, presented by Diana Varma RGD
An exploratory workshop with the goal of ideating and sharing new assessment ideas with like-minded educators. ‘Unicorn assessments’ are magical, in that they are fun for the instructor to develop, valuable for students to engage in and (dare I say) enjoyable to grade. They typically involve one, two or all three of Daniel Pink’s motivational framework components of autonomy, mastery and purpose.
2. 
Pairing is Caring, presented by Alanna Munro
Learn about the font matrix method for pairing typefaces. This method involves looking closer at the underlying structure of the typeface and pairing it with an appropriate companion font.
11:45-12:00 PM: Break
12:00-12:45 PM
: Keynote
The Future of Design Education is Human. p
resented by 
Ana Rita Morais
The future of design education will not be written by algorithms or driven by the speed of technological disruption. It will be built—boldly and deliberately—by educators who champion curiosity, empathy, critical inquiry, ethical leadership, and deep human connection. In this talk, Ana Rita Morais challenges educators to rethink the learning environment, reimagine the role of the learner, redefine the responsibility of the instructor, and rebuild the curriculum through a human-centered lens. Through mentorship, peer connection, and radical empowerment, she calls for a new era of design education—one that values depth over speed, collaboration over competition, and humanity over optimization. The future isn’t about keeping pace with machines—it’s about setting a tempo only humans can create.
1:00-2:30 PM: Optional Networking Lunch (location TBD - pay your own way)

Best Things to Do

Night view

_TI***vl

Beautiful scenery and adventure in the rainforest of Vancouver. Enjoyed it, but costly for this park. I did like that it wasn&#39;t too crowded. That maybe the reasonable considering the cost.

Grouse Mountain Peak

Hiking

Mountain climbing

小思文

Grouse Mountain is a perfect natural landscape. In the summer, you can enjoy the green scenery all over the mountain. In the winter, it is also a good place for skiing. The Grouse Mountain tour bus can go directly to the sightseeing spot on the top of the mountain. The lake water is also a very clear resource.

Cliffwalk

Natural scenery

DEAR张小球

The plank road is a must-see attraction when visiting the suspension bridge park. In fact, there is no danger. Even people like me who are afraid of heights think it is okay. The scenery here is super good, with mountains, water, lush greenery, and pleasant scenery.

Lynn Canyon Park

黛米有米

Lynn Canyon Suspension Bridge

Shadiespirit

Th&eacute; trails in Lynn Canyon starting at the suspension bridge is breath taking. The bridge is not as long as Capilano but it&rsquo;s free of entrance. The only fee you need to pay is for parking. They do have a small kiosk for drinks and snacks. There are several trails you can take. it&rsquo;s easy to navigate as they have location maps in certain points to f the trail. At some point you will come across a small waterfall. There is also some areas where you can go for a dip. the water is quite cold tho even if it&rsquo;s in the summer. I&rsquo;m used to the south east beach temperature of water. There are many hikers along the trails. Some bring their dogs along. most dogs were on leash but some were not. but if you are bringing your dog, please do put them on the leash for safety reasons.
