The document summarizes an information session about the Rethink Learning Inquiry Hub, an alternative learning program. It introduces the administrators, teachers, and students. It describes inquiry learning as student-driven and focused on creating questions and thoughtful answers. The Inquiry Hub is for passionate learners interested in applying learning practically with technology. A typical day involves topical workshops, online courses, and afternoon inquiry time. Students work on self-directed projects, like one student's project on how music affects driving skills. The program focuses on creating authentic products and tackling real-world issues. It aims to develop competencies like critical thinking through experiences like Shauna's garden project that received grant funding.
