Page 1: record the inquiry
- Name the specific AI use, policy, or experience you investigated.
- Identify the kinds of evidence you gathered.
- Track up to three interviews or conversations by date, place, and role.
- Write short notes or exact words in quotation marks.
- Record what each conversation supports, challenges, or makes you question.
- Mark whether a person may be quoted anonymously, named, or not quoted.
Page 2: turn notes into findings
- Give each piece of evidence a short ID.
- Write one clear claim and show what supports and challenges it.
- Add the eight-score governance snapshot.
- Preserve disagreement and conflicting evidence.
- Name missing voices and the evidence your group still needs.
Protect people while documenting what matters.
Do not record private student information. Identify people by role unless they give permission to be named or quoted. A useful civic record makes its sources traceable without exposing people unnecessarily.
What happens after submission
- Your group submits a documented contribution.
- The Civic Lab team verifies, clarifies, and assigns a contribution ID.
- The evidence enters the Community Learning Ledger.
- Contributing groups may be invited to a local or citywide public demonstration.
- Findings across groups are organized into a city-facing public product.
No contribution, no invitation. The public conversation is built from documented learning.
