Good partnerships begin with a shared learning problem, not a row of logos.
BIAA is open to scoped conversations while avoiding any implication that a partnership exists before responsibilities and permissions are confirmed.
Describe the learners, objective, timing and constraints; BIAA will not list an organisation before confirmation.Judge fit before any name appears.
This is a method, not a roster. A meeting or verbal expression of support is not a partnership. Write the brief to info@biaa.com.
- 01
Is the learning problem specific
Name the learners, the learning objective and the period. Visibility by itself does not establish a collaboration.
- 02
Do audience and supervision match
Ask whether the people you serve overlap with BIAA's young learners, and whether adult supervision, venue and tools match.
- 03
What the institution itself decides
Credits, curriculum recognition, admissions and assessment remain the school's or host's decisions. BIAA does not replace those authorities.
- 04
Outputs are briefs and evidence
What can be exchanged is a workshop brief, a learning method and inspectable evidence. A logo wall or promised results sits outside the fit test.
- 05
Can safety and data be written down
Safeguarding, tool risk, data, image permission, IP and conflicts must be explicit before activity begins.
- 06
No names before confirmation
A meeting, introduction or verbal expression of support is not a partnership. Names and marks appear after written confirmation.
Schools and learning organisations
Possible work can include a needs discussion, a defined workshop brief, a club framework or curriculum support. Scope, safeguarding responsibility, equipment and evaluation should be agreed in writing.
Engineers, researchers and makers
A contributor may help review a problem, explain a professional workflow or critique a prototype. Participation must be age-appropriate, supervised and free of promotional claims that learners cannot evaluate.
What a credible partnership page should disclose
When a relationship is formalised, BIAA should state the partner’s role, project period, permission to use names or marks, and the evidence the work is intended to produce. Unconfirmed names should not appear.
A six-step fit judgement before any name appears
The partner path on this page is a method, not a roster. An institution should be able to name the learners, the learning objective and the period; check whether audience, adult supervision, venue and tools match; keep credits, admissions and assessment as its own decisions; exchange a workshop brief and inspectable evidence rather than a logo wall; write down safeguarding, data, image permission, IP and conflicts; and treat a meeting or verbal expression of support as not yet a partnership. Write to info@biaa.com with that brief. Names and marks appear after written confirmation.
