Supraintelligence

Making Sense of AI, Together

A community-centered workshop hosted by Dr. Angel Acosta

Date: Thursday, August 20, 2026
Time: 7:00–9:00 PM ET
Location: Live on Zoom

An Invitation

Supraintelligence is rapidly reshaping how we learn, work, create, and relate to one another. Yet many conversations about AI feel rushed, technical, or disconnected from the lived realities of our communities.

Supraintelligence is an open, welcoming space to slow down, ask better questions, and make sense of AI together—with care, curiosity, and critical awareness.

This is designed for people who want to understand AI beyond the hype, explore practical tools without intimidation, and build community-centered AI literacy rooted in human dignity, equity, and collective well-being.

What This Is (and Is Not)

This is not a technical training or a sales pitch for tools.
This is a facilitated, participatory learning space where:

AI is explored in human terms
Community wisdom matters as much as technical knowledge
Questions are just as important as answers
Tool use is grounded in purpose, ethics, and care

Whether you’re brand new to AI or already experimenting with tools, you are welcome here.

What We’ll Explore Together

During this two-hour session, participants will:

Make sense of what AI actually is—and how it’s already shaping education, work, creativity, and daily life
Explore community-centered AI literacy, including power, bias, ethics, and social impact
Engage in guided AI tool use, with live demonstrations and low-stakes experimentation
Reflect collectively on how AI can support (or undermine) human flourishing, learning, and care

Build shared language and understanding that participants can bring back to their communities and organizations

Who This Is For

This is designed for:

Educators and school leaders
Nonprofit and community leaders
Creatives, facilitators, and consultants
Students and lifelong learners
Anyone feeling curious, cautious, hopeful, or overwhelmed by AI

No technical background required. No prior AI experience needed.

Why “Supraintelligence”?

We believe the most important questions about AI cannot be answered alone.

Supraintelligence invites us to cultivate the idea that wisdom emerges through relationship, dialogue, and shared inquiry. AI becomes a mirror—inviting us to reflect on our values, our systems, and the futures we are shaping together.
