Join Teams Channel
Stay connected with the Cornell AI Innovation Hub community. Our Microsoft Teams channel is the place to ask questions, share discoveries, get early access to new tools and resources, and collaborate with colleagues across campus who are exploring AI in their work. Join us to stay in the loop.
Attend Explorations
Explorations are the Hub’s signature learning events. Join us for biweekly sessions where Cornell staff and faculty can discover emerging AI tools, hear from practitioners, and discuss real applications in research and education. Sessions are virtual, free and open to the Cornell community.
For Developers
Become a Tech Lead
Tech Leads drive the technical direction of AI projects at the Innovation Hub, applying cutting-edge AI to real problems at Cornell. You’ll work closely with stakeholders, student developers, and Hub staff to architect solutions, guide implementation, and see projects through from concept to deployment. You can learn more about the Tech Lead experience here. If you are interested in joining as a Tech Lead, please contact us.
For Students
Enroll in an AI Innovation course
We offers students a two-course pathway into applied AI. Start with a foundational course that covers large language models, Retrieval Augmented Generation, and agentic AI systems. Then advance to the AI Innovation Lab course, where you’ll join a team building a real, deployable AI tool for a Cornell stakeholders. Link registrar course pages coming soon.
