Ethọ́s Lab Impact Wednesdays
About this Event
Impact Wednesdays are free community nights hosted at the Ethọ́s Lab Innovation Hub, bringing together youth, families, educators, and community partners to explore the ever-changing world of S.T.E.A.M. & AI.
As a Cultural Community Innovation Hub, each session will look into the different intersections from the Arts to Technology. Opening a different doorway into the future, from AI and digital media to film, scholarships, inclusive education, virtual reality, video game design, storytelling, youth leadership, and career pathways.
Ethọ́s Lab is committed to developing the next generation of diverse creators. Our programming has reached 3,700+ youth, engaged 50+ schools and organizations, and supported 1,850+ students through in-school programming to date.
Impact Wednesdays are part of our commitment to share tools & resources and create learning experiences for the community that help shape this work.
Whether you are a young person exploring your future, a parent supporting a child through a changing world, an educator looking for community-rooted learning, or a community member curious about what’s possible, this space is for you.
Come to learn with us at our mid-week refresh!
Free registration. Limited capacity.
Agenda
🕑: 06:00 PM - 08:00 PM
September 23, 2026 - Parents x AI
Host: Yvan Boily
Info: AI is already part of young people’s lives, often before they ever open ChatGPT.
It shows up in the apps they scroll, the games they play, the filters they use, the videos recommended to them, the homework tools they hear about, and the chatbots or AI characters they may already be engaging with. For many adults, it can be hard to know what questions to ask, what to worry about, and how to support young people without fear or judgment.
Parents x AI is a free community session designed to help guardians/families better understand the AI young people are already using. The evening will include real examples, small group conversations, anonymous question cards, Q&A, and practical take-home tools.
🕑: 06:00 PM - 08:00 PM

Info: Presented in partnership with Fade to Black Entertainment, this evening will introduce participants to Black-led creative work happening in Vancouver and beyond. The night is designed to create space for celebration, and connection while opening pathways for young people interested in media and the arts.
As Ethọ́s Lab launches our first-ever Future Producers Club, this evening offers a meaningful entry point for youth who are curious about film, media, storytelling, music, and creative production. This night is about celebrating Black stories, making creative pathways visible, and helping young people see themselves in the future of film.
