Summer Workshop Series — Ashland, Oregon
The summer you get genuinely good at AI
Fourteen instructor-led workshops across four tracks — AI coding, agents, media production, and startup craft — each paired with a hands-on lab where the skills take root. Built for total beginners, emerging masters, and whole teams.
4 tracks · 14 workshops · every one runs monthly
Why Here, Why Now
Three years of practice, not hype.
The Rogue Valley AI Lab just turned three. Three years of showing up, making sense of new tools together, and putting them to work — and it has made this valley something rare: a place where AI and entrepreneurship aren't just talked about, they're practiced. From the Lab to the startups now emerging inside our community, innovation is taking root here and turning into action.
That's what White Rabbit is for: leveling up the remarkable talent that already lives here, in a way that's true to our bioregional values — and bringing that talent together in new combinations, because some potential only unlocks when we're collaborating. This summer, we're expanding that work into a full workshop series.
The Format
Workshops teach. Labs make it stick.
Most classes end when the room empties. Ours are designed so the learning keeps compounding.
01
Workshops
Instructor-led, hands-on, and small enough that nobody gets left behind. You don’t watch someone build — you build, and you leave with something working.
02
Labs
Every workshop is paired with a continuing practice group where the skills take root. Bring what you’re working on, get unstuck, and keep momentum between sessions.
03
Monthly, on repeat
Every workshop runs again next month. Start at your level, take only the sessions you need, and catch anything you missed on the next pass. There’s no falling behind.
Labs are free for members, and every workshop ticket includes a lab session — so the learning doesn't stop when the class does. Explore membership
The Tracks
Pick your level. Skip what you know.
Four tracks, from first steps to frontier practice. Take one session or climb a whole ladder — each level stands on its own.
Track 01
AI Coding
From your first working web app to a professional-grade stack. Already building? Skip straight to the level that stretches you.
101
Getting Started With Building
Ship your first working web tool with Lovable — no coding background required. You will leave with something real, live, and yours.
201
Making Your Creations Truly Smart
Give your apps memory: data, persistence, and support for more than one user. The difference between a demo and a tool people rely on.
301
Transitioning to Pro Development
Databases, deployment, and the real stack professionals ship on. Take what you have built and put it on solid ground.
401
Taking It to the Next Level
Loops, subagents, and compound engineering — the practices that let one builder do the work of a team.
Track 02
AI Agents
Stop chatting with AI. Start delegating to it.
101
Getting Started With Agents
What an agent actually is — past the buzzword — and your first working assistant, built with no code.
201
Putting Your Agent to Work
Build a reliable agent for a task you repeat every week, and get those hours back for good.
301
Giving Your Agent Real Power
Tools, memory, and access to your own files and business data — an agent that knows your work, not just the internet.
401
Agents That Run Themselves
Multi-agent workflows, handoffs, and scheduling. Systems that keep working after you close the laptop.
Track 03
AI Media Production
Hands-on creative intensives led by Nisha Burton. Each session stands on its own — pick what fits your practice.
AI Media Production
A three-hour hands-on intensive: generate, direct, and refine real media with the current generation of creative AI tools.
AI for Product Marketing
Turn AI into your product’s marketing team — campaigns, assets, and copy at a pace one person could never sustain alone.
AI Animation & Motion Graphics
Build short animated sequences with generative AI — from storyboard to moving image in a single session.
AI VFX
Blend live footage with AI-generated elements — practical compositing techniques for real projects.
Track 04
Startup Sessions
For people building companies.
Business Model Workshop
Pressure-test how your idea actually makes money — before the market does it for you.
Pitch Workshop
Get your pitch in front of a room and make it land. Live reps, direct feedback, sharper story.
Who It's For
Meet the series where you are.
Brand new to this
Never written a line of code, never built an agent? The 101 sessions assume nothing. You'll leave your very first session with something real and working — and a lab full of people to keep building with.
Already deep in it
Already shipping? Skip the intros and jump straight to the 301 and 401 sessions — real stacks, multi-agent systems, compound engineering. Find the level that stretches you, and the peers who are stretching too.
For Teams
Bring your whole team.
Some capabilities only compound when everyone has them. Send your team through a track together, or talk to us about a private intensive built around how your team actually works.

This Summer
Come learn something.
All sessions happen at the White Rabbit Clubhouse — 5 N Main St, Ashland, Oregon. Come on your own or bring your crew. Either way, you'll leave knowing more than you walked in with — and you'll know who to build it with.
