From there we drove about 45 minutes outside of town to visit the\u00a0 Coquitlam, BC. I was there to meet witht he Coquitlam School District Administrators\u00a0 and lead a discussion around recent progress and risks of AI. Our host has Stephen W, the Assistant Superintendent for the District and the leader of its (very impressive)\u00a0 IT group.\u00a0 Heather and Deepak from IBM were there for morale and logistical support. They were both so great to hang out with ..\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The talk went pretty well, The high point for me was the short mini-panel\u00a0 that Stephen and I did after the talk. . After that, Stephen drove us around the town of Coquitlam which\u00a0 is surrounded by high mountains and has a\u00a0 beautiful harbor. We were able to visit one of the High school middle school campuses. where we got a very good sense of the student focused teaching and the STEAM initiatives they had for the students.\u00a0

Afterwards we had a lovely dinner hosted by Stephen, His wife Jen ..the school district Numeracy lead, Patricia the District Superintendent and her husband Steve. The setting was beautiful, the dinner was great.. and the conversation was even better.\u00a0 \u00a0We felt so at ease with all of them. We had great conversations about education, travel, kids.. .. it was a memorable evening.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
