The fourth ever MAKEiT event was held on March 22 at the Business Building on University Park’s campus. This event was planned for over nine months and featured support from across Creative Learning Initiatives. More than 86 faculty, students and staff from 16 campuses (and World Campus) spent the day getting hands-on rapidly developing tools for using generative Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) to create. Three collaborative learning experiences – Can A.I. Play?, Paws & Prints and From Paper to Premier – were designed specifically for MAKEiT, with a unique emphasis on technology experience, problem-solving, and fun. These experiences jump-started a conversation about the use of A.I. tools in the classroom and engaged the Penn State community in exploring what comes next and how human creativity can thrive alongside A.I.
“The activity was brilliantly conceived. Directions were clear. Teamwork was awesome. Support in the room was great. Can’t believe how much we accomplished in such a brief time. What a great way to explore new technologies!”
