Lab programmes

Structured pathways from prototype to partner school trial

Each SmartLearnAI Co programme pairs faculty collaborators with lab engineers, instructional designers and ethical review leads. Pricing reflects scope, residency length and pilot complexity — not per-seat licensing.

Our catalogue spans six programme codes from SLA-101 through SLA-601. Schools, districts, post-secondary faculties and research partners select a track aligned to their innovation goals: synthetic environment design, virtual education assistants, knowledge simulation workshops, immersive classroom labs, curriculum design studios or extended innovation residencies.

Every engagement begins with a scoping conversation at our Uplands Drive studio or via secure video. We document learning objectives, ethical boundaries, accessibility requirements and what success looks like before any prototype work begins. This discipline distinguishes our lab from vendors who ship generic AI tools without educator co-design.

Programme fees cover lab time, documentation, faculty collaboration sessions and pilot preparation. They do not include third-party accreditation, guaranteed adoption metrics or marketing services. Partners receive open documentation suitable for district review and internal ethics committees.
