A calm place to get hands-on with AI
A playground for AI learning, testing, and research at Santa Fe.
Explore models, compare outputs, and build real confidence with AI in a safe, reviewable environment.
Playground now. Teaching, training, and research hub next.
What AI Garden does
One place to learn, test, and research.
AI Garden gives Santa Fe a shared environment to try AI on real tasks before those patterns spread across the college.
It starts as a playground, but it is designed to grow into a stronger teaching, training, and research surface.
Learn
Build practical AI literacy
Give students, faculty, and staff a guided way to build comfort fast.
Test
Compare tools and workflows
Make tradeoffs visible instead of treating outputs like a black box.
Research
Study real use
Develop evidence-aware practice for academic and operational contexts.
Who it's for
Designed for the people who will actually use AI at Santa Fe.
Students
Learn by trying and comparing.
See how outputs change across models, evidence, and review conditions.
Faculty
Explore teaching uses with guardrails.
Test course-safe workflows without skipping over scrutiny or context.
Staff
Try practical help on real work.
Use drafting, planning, and operations as test beds for responsible adoption.
First experimental surface
Start inside Model Lab.
Playground to lab flow
Run one task across different models and compare what changes.
Prompt once, compare several models, and inspect clarity, tone, reasoning, and review posture.
Where it grows
Start with a playground. Grow into a hub.
Begin with guided experimentation, then grow into training, evaluation, and research patterns the college can actually trust.
