AI & Your Child’s Learning (Part 1)

When: November 20 from 7-8:30pm
Live online + recording for registrants
Cost: $25

We begin with what matters most: your child’s learning and development. We’ll consider how AI tools may influence attention, creativity, and study habits, and what responsible use can look like as children grow into teens and prepare for university. Then we’ll demystify the current AI landscape—what today’s tools can and can’t do and where they’re heading—including text-based systems (like chatbots), image creation, and video creation/editing.

Beginner Ballroom Dance Workshop - Spruce Grove C

When: November 22 — 9:30 sign in, 10am workshop begins

Our ballroom dance workshops are a great place to have fun while learning the basics of ballroom dancing. You will not only learn the basics - like how to waltz, rumba, fox trot and jive - instructors Mike and Michele Barter will also teach ballroom etiquette. These workshops have trained several generations of homeschoolers in the art of ballroom dance. Students and parents benefit from the training in social graces as well as the opportunity to spend time with other home schoolers. 

Parental participation is required.

Anyone under the age of 18 will need to have a registered parent or guardian present at the workshop/ball.
