"In September, dozens of Penn students gathered in the engineering school auditorium for the debut of the Claude Builder Club, sponsored by AI company Anthropic. Over the course of this semester, the Builder Club has plans to host a hackathon, demo night, and other opportunities to create projects using artificial intelligence. "I need the Claude premium for a year," says Crystal Yang, a freshman who attended the first meeting. Claude, she had heard, is "better for coding and sounding more human in writing.""
"Like Yang, many attendees were interested chiefly in the free Claude Pro and API credits offered. But according to their responses at the first meeting, a number of attendees also wanted to spend the semester working on problems with climate, healthcare, and manufacturing. "Hearing other Penn students stand up and share what problems they were working on solving with the help of AI was genuinely inspiring," says Alain Welliver, one of the Builder Club ambassadors leading Penn's chapter."
Dozens of Penn students attended the debut of a Claude Builder Club sponsored by Anthropic, with plans for a semester of hackathons, demo nights, and AI project development. Attendees expressed interest in free Claude Pro and API credits while some aimed to apply AI to climate, healthcare, and manufacturing challenges. A freshman requested a year of Claude premium, noting Claude's strengths in coding and human-sounding writing. An ambassador organizes promotion and programming and will receive a $1,750 stipend. The ambassadorship required an application and interview detailing AI projects and perspectives. Anthropic's Claude for Education additionally offers a Learning mode and campuswide access for partners.
