Experiential Learning

Through our center, students have the ability to collaborate with fellow students and corporate partners to further enrich their academic and professional experiences at Emory. The Center for AI Learning serves as a hub that coordinates these project opportunities and advertises them to students interested in hands-on AI and data science experiences. The experiential learning prospects are meant to facilitate professional connections, provide value to corporate partners, and introduce students to new skills and experiences firsthand.

If you are interested in potentially participating in such experiences, please join the newsletter to receive updates on upcoming opportunities. The center provides project opportunities via certain on-campus classes, our programs below, and by hiring students directly to work for the center. Any open student positions will be found on Handshake.
