About us

Where industry meets the classroom

AI Club is Wichita State's hands-on AI organization. We bring in the people deploying AI, teach members to use it, and host the hard conversations about it.

About 20 people pose at the front of a Wichita State classroom after an AI Club meeting.

Why we exist

Close the gap between class and work

Most of what you need to know about using AI at work isn't on a syllabus yet. So we bring in the people deploying it, run hands-on sessions with the tools they use, and leave time for the hard questions.

Students of every major are welcome, and so are faculty, alumni, Wichita community members and anyone who wants to learn about AI.

Student-led

Students run it

Officers plan the calendar, and members lead workshops and discussions.

A faculty advisor and an industry advisory board keep the club close to how AI is used at work.

How we work

Five ways to take part

  1. Workshops

    Build with the tools people use at work

    Hands-on sessions where everyone builds along. Bring a laptop. No experience needed.

  2. Industry speakers

    People who deploy AI show how

    People who use AI in their jobs walk through real work and take your questions.

  3. Student-led workshops

    Members teach what they built

    Members demo their own projects and show the room how they made them.

  4. Community events

    Meet the people using AI in Wichita

    Industry visits and joint events with partners on and off campus.

  5. Hackathons

    Build it, then pitch it

    Teams take on real problems from partners, then build or pitch a solution.
