Snorkl and the Mark Cuban Foundation AI Bootcamp are built on a simple idea: AI should strengthen student thinking, not replace it. Through our partnership, Snorkl is providing every AI Bootcamp student, Teacher Fellow, and AI Teacher Bootcamp participant with unlimited premium access for one year, allowing them to experience firsthand how AI can deepen learning rather than create shortcuts.
Snorkl is a learning platform designed to make student thinking visible. Students can record their verbal reasoning, sketch or draw their ideas on a virtual whiteboard, and show how they arrived at an answer rather than only giving the final result. By letting students share their process, Snorkl helps teachers see not just what students know but how they think, creating space for deeper learning and clearer next steps.
At its core, Snorkl values student voice, interaction, and authentic engagement. The team behind Snorkl believes every student deserves the chance to explain their thinking in their own words and in ways that feel natural, whether by speaking, drawing, or writing. Teachers can then use these insights to strengthen understanding rather than simply measure correctness.
Snorkl works across subjects and grade levels. It supports math, science, English language arts, world languages, history, and more. With support for over 40 languages, it is designed for classrooms with diverse backgrounds. Teachers can select from a large library of standards-aligned activities or create their own. Students receive instant feedback on their explanations, highlighting what they did well, where they may be misunderstanding, and suggestions for improvement.
Snorkl also provides teachers with clear insight into student learning. Its analytics dashboards show where students are struggling, common misconceptions, and which responses reflect strong reasoning. Teachers can use this information to adjust instruction, recognize patterns in growth, and plan lessons based on real student work.
With Snorkl, Bootcamp participants practice explaining and justifying their choices as they build projects, which reinforces core skills like reflection, communication, and problem solving. Fellows and teachers use Snorkl to create quick checks for understanding, surface misconceptions early, and adapt instruction in the moment. Because access is provided at no cost, students across sites can explore these tools regardless of background, language, or prior experience.
At Snorkl, we believe student thinking is at the center of great teaching and learning, and we’re proud to partner with the Mark Cuban Foundation in supporting that work.
