Projects from Labs
Real applications, shipped by students. Not coursework, not demos.
Applied AI OS
An agent operating system for the club, built as a mobile app. The board runs AI agents over the club's own knowledge: research prospective speakers, draft outreach, and manage the speaker pipeline, all from their phone.
This website
The site you are on. Built in Labs with a full design system, an AI chat assistant, and automated deploys to Cloudflare.
Student AI Hub
A student-built resource on using AI in business, school, and professional life. Ten interactive modules, 162 concepts, built from 22 sources.

Ideas in, projects out
We collect ideas from students, faculty, and partners about how AI is being used at Penn State and store every submission in a structured database that grows across semesters.
Members who want to go deeper can get hands-on with the tools and concepts shaping the field. You pick a project, form a team, and build it.
All experience levels welcome. If you are curious and want to learn by doing, Labs is the place.
Submit an idea
Anyone can propose a project. We track every idea in a shared database.
Form a team
Pick a project that interests you and work with other members.
Build it
