The Discord server
Where the community gathers
The AEDU workshop is a starting point, not an endpoint. One of its core outcomes is launching a Discord server that gives this community a persistent place to gather — independent of any single institution, conference, or platform.
The server is designed around the work of teaching: sharing syllabi and assignments, workshopping course ideas, coordinating around conferences like ALIFE, and finding collaborators for education research. It's also a space for the broader community of people interested in ALife pedagogy, not just those who could attend the workshop.
The server goes live on May 18, 2026 — Day 1 of the workshop. Workshop registrants will receive the invite link directly.
Register for the workshop →ALife-Edu Community Server
Open to all educators, researchers, and practitioners with an interest in teaching Artificial Life. The server launches on Day 1 of the AEDU workshop and remains open indefinitely.
Invite link distributed to registered workshop participants. Link will also be posted publicly here after launch.
Get involved
Join a workshop
The AEDU virtual workshop (May 2026) and the TAL in-person workshop (August 2026 at ALIFE) are both entry points to the community. Come with ideas, questions, or just curiosity.
Share resources
Have a syllabus, assignment, simulation, or course you'd like to share? The community is building a shared collection of open pedagogical resources for ALife education.
