What We Do

Three pillars, one goal

Everything we do is built around helping Penn State students understand and work with AI. We run events, build real projects, and maintain tools that make it easier to get started.

Events and Programming

We will host guest speakers, run tool walkthroughs, and discuss how AI is changing business and the workplace. Meetings will be open to all Penn State students regardless of major or experience.

Events and regular meetings begin Fall 2026 at Penn State. Join the mailing list or GroupMe to get notified when we launch.

Guest speakers

Industry professionals and faculty share how AI is used in their work.

Tool walkthroughs

Hands-on sessions with ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and other AI tools.

Open discussions

What is happening with AI, how it affects careers, and where it is going.

Applied AI Labs

Labs is the research and development arm of the club. We run experiments, build tools, and give members who want to go deeper a place to work on real projects with real AI systems.

Our first project is the Student AI Hub. The roadmap includes more hands-on work with the same stack serious teams use.
