Quill Collective is a program that has always been rooted in the creative process. Part of that means asking the right questions that will hopefully be the genesis of our artistic journey. For our 5th cycle we did just that by asking our choreographers the 5 most basic and important questions to exist: Who, What, Where, Why, and When? Each choreographer was then challenged with creating a piece inspired by the W they were assigned and from there we curated 5 beautiful acts to explore these questions in all their curious glory.

Lets go diving (and snorkeling)! Summer is here! Though we don't have the winter vis on the surface, the water is warm and the April algee blooms are calming down! There is still plenty to see in the Ocean! We will be meeting at 11:30, with falling tide from 8:35 until 15:40. There may be some current, but Ansell current doesn't get too strong. The slack times are anti-social in late May :( Scuba divers and freedivers are welcome also! We will split up into buddy groups and explore the under water world! You are also welcome to just hang out at the beach/rocks and stay dry! We won't judge! Scuba divers are likely to only have time for 1 full tank dive, before everyone else is cold and leaving the water. If you want to complete another dive afterwards, we recommend you bring a willing buddy (or find one on our Discord). After we are all content with the ocean time we might hang out and have a picnic together, weather allowing. What will I need? Late May we expect temperatures of around 13 degrees in the water (though we are already seeing 12 in late April, so water might be warmer this year). You will need the following kit: Wetsuit/Drysuit with Hood - we recommend at least 4/5mm wetsuit for snorkelers and freedivers, and at least 6.5mm 2-piece for Scuba Divers. You can purchase or rent a hood if you don't have one. Cold-tolerant snorkelers might get away with a 3/4 wetsuit. Gloves and Socks/Boots - 5mm at least recommended Mask and Snorkel - Any will suffice. On a budget you could use swimming goggles and a nose-clip in place of a mask for snorkeling. Fins - Fins are recommended for getting around and safety. During this event in particular we strongly encourage bringing fins as there may be some current due to changing tide. Fins allow you to easily fight current while snorkeling. What can I rent? For snorkellers and freedivers, we recommend the following rental packages: Diving Locker Freediving Package - $60 - fins, 8mm wetsuit \w hood, 5mm gloves. You will need to buy socks, mask and snorkel Diving Sports Freediving Package - $56 - fins, 7mm wetsuit \w hood, mask. You will need to buy socks, gloves and snorkel. The freediving packages also include weights, but you can leave those if you don't plan to dive underneath the surface. Rowands Reef Wetsuit Rental - $30 for 6.5mm 2 piece wetsuit. Hood and gloves rented separately for $10 each. Neoprene boots availabe to rent for $10. You will need to buy mask and snorkel. Rowands Reef can rent 5mm neoprene boots for $10 which can help you avoid buying neoprene socks. Additionally IDC can rent Personal Gear Package (Boots, Glove & Fins) for $22. Ocean Pro Divers in Surrey can rent mask and snorkel for $20. All dive shops in metro-vancouver rent drysuits, tanks and all scuba gear. Dive shops will want you to come over and get measured up for the rental kit prior to renting on the day of the event. Discounts Our Discord server has a whole section on gear rentals in metro vancouver with lots of recommendations and advice. We additionally have some discount codes at local shops (including some of the ones listed above). Quality of life gear and advice? Sandals/crocks/flip-flops - these can be worn over your wetsuit socks, preventing you from ripping holes in your wetsuit socks. Ansell is rocky dive site, down some stairs so this is highly recommended. A large towel/poncho can help with changing in and out of the wetsuit. Wearing swim suit under wetsuit helps with changing in and out of wetsuit in public. Spare change of clothes. Just in case. Full water bottle is important as you can become quite dehydrated! Ansell has no running water. Ansell has no washrooms or changing facilities. There is an overgrown wooded area. A snack for before and after the snorkeling will help you stay energised. There is a cafe at the park, but it isn't always open. Camping stove with some tea bags is a good way to make some freshly brewed hot tea. We love ginger tea as it helps to increase body temperature. A thermos with brewed tea works great too! If you are prone to sea sickness or car sickness, consider taking Gravol or other motion sickness medication. This might be particularly useful as we are diving between slack tides and so there may be some surf. If you own a large thermos (1.5L or more) you are in luck. Fill it with hot water to flush your wetsuit before and after going in the water. It will help you warm up! A beanie or warm hat to wear afterwards is good if you are prone to ear infections/problems. A waterproof bag to put your wet gear in. Ikea bags or those reusable shopping bags work great. Waterproof torch/light is useful for looking deep into cracks or holes. A paddle board or a boogie board for visibility as well as having an extra place to rest and relax if you are snorkeling. It will need to be attached to you in some way otherwise it will drift away into the Ocean! A whistle in case of emergency. Wetsuit lube makes it easier to put on your wetsuit. A good alternative is water mixed with natural hair conditioner. Dive shops sell wetsuit lube also. A gopro or other waterproof cameras to capture and share what you find! Safety We are a loosely organised diving and snorkeling community, rather than a club with staff and a safety team. You should plan for and consider your safety to be entirely your responsibility. We will be sending out liability release waivers closer to the event. The diving and snorkeling is unguided, but many of us have been to the location before and can offer advice about specific areas. We will encourage attendees to group up into buddy groups of 2-3 people and stick together during the event. We will also run a quick briefing about hazards in the area and what to be mindful of. Do I need to be a strong swimmer? No. Wetsuits are bouyant so you will naturally float on the surface. While snorkeling, you will also tend to be in shallow water. Likely you will be able to touch the bottom with your feet and walk out to the shore if needed. Breathing through a snorkel can take some time to get used to as you must breathe solely through your mouth rather than your nose (which will be in the mask/clipped closed). You can pactice on land before the event! You will be wearing powerful fins which make it easy to get around using just your legs. Being comfortable flutter, breast-stroke or even dolphin kicking will help you make the most of your fins. As always we recommend staying within the range of your abilities. We can recommend shallow and safer areas you can explore if you are worried. Anything else? Carpooling, parking and other questions - We have a thread for the event on our Discord server. We recommend joining to coordinate details like carpooling. Ansell has limited parking with just 5 spots. Fallback option is up a steep hill and we wouldn't wish this hill on our worst enemies! Carpooling will help us all get to park as close as possible. Snorkeling/Diving Ethics - VQD is a no-exploitation and no-harm community. This means we do not exploit or harm the ocean in any way during our events. Please avoid touching, picking up or handing marine life. Just watch and enjoy! In BC it is illegal to approach or interact with large marine mamals. If you see some curious sea lions, seals, dolphins or whales, you may be approached and interacted with by the animals, but you risk very serious legal consequences if you attempt to attract or approach these wild animals yourself.

Event Description As AI rapidly reshapes education and the workforce, traditional measures of success—like GPAs, test scores, and even technical skills—are no longer enough. So how can students succeed in college admissions and future careers when automation is rewriting the rules? The real answer begins far before high school—and it isn’t what you think. In this talk, Prof. Loh challenges conventional wisdom and introduces a fresh approach to preparing students for the AI-driven world. He will reveal: Why excelling in math and academics alone won’t secure college admission—and what those colleges really seek. How to authentically develop human skills like creativity, adaptability, communication, and leadership—people who are indistinguishable from robots will be replaced by robots. Simple, effective ways for students to start building these future-proof skills today, even in elementary and middle school. Speaker Info The speaker, Po-Shen Loh , has traveled to over 100 cities in recent years, delivering talks on this topic and gaining insights from diverse audiences—a tour that was even featured by The Wall Street Journal . Po-Shen Loh is a social entrepreneur and inventor working across mathematics, education, and healthcare. He is a math professor at Carnegie Mellon University and the national coach of the USA International Mathematical Olympiad team. He has pioneered innovations ranging from a scalable way for people to learn challenging math live online from brilliant people to a new way to control pandemics by leveraging self-interest. He has earned distinctions ranging from an International Mathematical Olympiad silver medal to the USA Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers. He was the coach of Carnegie Mellon University’s math team when it achieved its first-ever #1 rank among all North American universities, and the coach of the USA Math Olympiad team when it achieved its first-ever back-to-back #1-rank victories in 2015 and 2016, and then again in 2018 and 2019. He featured in or co-created videos totaling over 21 million YouTube views. Po-Shen received his undergraduate degree in mathematics from Caltech in 2004, graduating with the highest GPA in his class. He received a master’s degree in mathematics from the University of Cambridge in 2005, where he was supported by a Winston Churchill Foundation Scholarship.
