Talks & Workshops

I give talks about AI in education, assessment redesign, vibe coding, and why magic is the best teaching tool nobody uses. Formats range from 45-minute keynotes to full-day professional development sessions. Everything is classroom-tested. Nothing is theoretical.

What Makes These Different

Classroom tested. I'm an active professor at UBC, KPU, and Langara. Every tactic comes from a real classroom, not a consulting deck.
Ready to use. Clear frameworks, policy text, and templates your faculty can implement the next day.
Engaging delivery. Former professional magician. Background in attention, framing, and audience psychology informs every session. Expect high energy and interactive exercises, not a standard lecture.
Hands-on. Every workshop participant leaves with something they built during the session. A policy, a prototype, a redesigned assessment.
