About the Student AI Hub
A student-led initiative dedicated to building AI fluency at Penn State.
The Student AI Hub provides structured, source-based material designed to help students understand how AI systems function, how they are used in business and education, and how to apply them responsibly.
The Hub was produced by Applied AI at Penn State, a registered student organization in the Smeal College of Business. All content was developed using AI tools directed by club members, following an editorial process documented in our voice brief and sourced from public references.
How it was built
The reference sections were built from 22 curated public sources using retrieval-augmented generation. The AI could only use information from pre-approved material.
The AI by Smeal Major modules were produced in two phases. Students drafted the conceptual content using AI tools and shared templates. That content was then designed into interactive HTML modules using AI development tools.
Process and standards
Every piece of content follows the voice brief: field first, AI second. Sections stand alone. Limits are field-native. No conclusions. Describe, don't instruct.
The site itself is open source and maintained through GitHub. Future updates are made through pull requests reviewed by club members. The research corpus, architecture decisions, and editorial standards are all documented in the repository.
