Standup Comedy + Smart Lectures > Boring Dinner + Drinks Toronto Date Night

Robert Clapperton is a professor at the University of Waterloo and a TEDx speaker who has spent his career studying how artificial intelligence is bringing back the way Socrates actually taught and why it might be the most important shift in education in centuries.

On September 25th, he's bringing that to Laugh & Learn.

Here's how the night works:

First → stand-up comedy to warm up the room

Then → Robert takes the stage for a fascinating live lecture followed by audience Q&A.

What you'll actually learn:

• Why the Socratic method is still the best way humans have ever learned
• How AI is finally making personalized learning possible at scale
• Why going back 2500 years in education is actually going forward
  

This is for you if:

• You've sat in a classroom wondering why learning feels so broken
• You're curious about what AI is actually doing to education beyond the headlines
• You want a night that makes you laugh and genuinely changes how you think
