Rabbithole for Teachers: A Free AI Platform That Makes Students Think Harder
About this Event
Rabbithole for Teachers
A hands-on introduction to a free AI platform that makes students think harder
Join Tradewinds Center for Advanced Learning for an evening exploring Rabbithole, an open-source AI learning platform designed to help teachers plan more thoughtfully, differentiate more precisely, and support deeper student inquiry.
This teacher-focused workshop is not about making classroom apps with AI. It is a hands-on exploration of how AI can become a teacher-centered thought partner for curriculum design, Socratic dialogue, assessment, differentiation, and metacognitive reflection. We will share what has worked so far, but also the lowlights, challenges, and lessons learned from bringing Rabbithole into real classroom practice.

About Rabbithole
Rabbithole is an open-source, AI-powered learning platform created by Tradewinds Center for Advanced Learning. It supports teachers in designing rich learning experiences, engaging students in productive Socratic dialogue, and tracking learning across cognitive and affective dimensions while keeping teachers firmly at the center of the learning experience.
Rabbithole is free to use and modify. Schools that deploy it keep their data under their own control and pay only for the underlying AI and hosting costs.
What to Bring
Bring a unit, lesson, project, or learning challenge you are currently working on or would like to improve.
