The Center exists to enable all Purdue students to carry out projects. Purdue operates at scale with over 50,000 students enrolled at the West Lafayette campus alone.

To meet this need while ensuring safe, appropriate and responsible use the Center has adopted processes based on a standard workflow.

This workflow support student members by integrating them into an hybrid online/in-person community of their peers, supporting them as they self-learn/peer-learn from approved resources, and providing feedback through consultation with mentors.

Finally, the workflow enables members to receive a consistent level of support as they create their projects.
