Real-world AI, powered by Parkside talent
AI Works is the University of Wisconsin–Parkside’s hub for applied artificial intelligence, where students, faculty, and regional employers build practical AI solutions side by side.
From the classroom to the factory floor, we turn emerging technology into hands-on experience and measurable progress for southeastern Wisconsin.
Our Legacy: The App Factory
Founded in 2015, the UW–Parkside App Factory began as an interdisciplinary innovation studio where students, faculty, and community partners came together to solve real-world technology challenges. Operating like a startup, it gave students hands-on experience designing and developing mobile applications for organizations across southeastern Wisconsin while delivering creative, practical solutions to clients.
Below are just a few of the projects the App Factory has created.





Donations
Financial donations allow us to develop projects for nonprofit organizations that would normally not be able to afford it. Our student interns are paid through financial donations of clients and donors. Please include “AI Works” in the donation information section.
