Experiential Learning

At Penn State, experiential learning is a cornerstone of how students engage with artificial intelligence. Complement coursework by working alongside faculty, collaborating with peers, and experimenting with emerging tools.

Through hands‑on projects, real‑world challenges, research opportunities, and guided exploration, students learn how to apply AI thoughtfully, creatively, and responsibly. By working alongside faculty, collaborating with peers, and experimenting with emerging tools, students build critical thinking skills and gain practical experience that complements coursework.
