Experiential Learning Program

Bridge the gap between learning about AI and building AI.

The Experiential Learning Program (ELP) is a project-based program within the Nittany AI Student Society designed for students who want hands-on experience building with artificial intelligence. ELP is best suited for students who have some prior exposure to programming, machine learning, or technical project work and are ready to take on a more substantial team-based project.

We especially encourage students who have previously participated in programs within the Nittany AI community, as well as students who have developed similar experience through classes, internships, research, or personal projects.

What you’ll gain

  • Hands-on Opportunities

    By the end of the semester, participants will have contributed to a complete AI project from initial development through testing, evaluation, and presentation that they can discuss in interviews, applications, and future opportunities.

  • Technical Skills

    ELP is structured around learning through the project itself. Students will be introduced to relevant technologies as they become useful during development.

  • Peer Networking

    Join a community of like-minded students of all majors and backgrounds interested in using AI to create meaningful impact.

  • Professional Networking

    Access networking opportunities, technology competitions, exclusive events, and more.
