AI Tools¶
We build interactive AI tools for the classroom. They run as a separate web app, so you can open them straight from here. No installation and no account needed.
The app may take a moment to wake up
The app is hosted on a free service that puts it to sleep when nobody is using it. The first visit can take up to a minute to load. After that it is quick.
Scientific AI Laboratory¶
-
AI Tutors
Pre-prompted tutors that students chat with. Includes Emmy, a research mentor who guides students through their own investigation with questions and helps them think like a scientist (one version for the exoplanet lesson, one for any school experiment), and a Debate a Historical Figure role-play tutor.
-
Rover Lab
Used in the chemistry lesson of Part 2. You upload a rover dossier for an exoplanet or choose one from the 8 existing exoplanet dossiers, and share the link. Students then chat with an AI that simulates the measurements their rover takes, without revealing what the dossier says.
-
Chemistry Lab
An earlier activity around an unknown liquid, still available in the app but not used in our current teaching material.
Notes for teachers¶
- AI Tutors need no preparation. Students simply open the page and start chatting, because there is no hidden information to protect.
- The Rover Lab works with a share link. Pick a built-in dossier (or upload your own) directly in the app, and share the resulting link — it opens a student-only view with the teacher controls hidden. See the Exoplanet Files page for the accompanying teacher/student materials.
- The app runs on a free AI model. If you would like to run a tutor on a stronger model, each tutor has a "Run this in your own (stronger) chatbot" section with a self-contained version of its prompt to paste into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or Copilot. Emmy's prompt for the exoplanet lesson is also available as a file on the physics page.
