Event FAQ
When was it, and did I need to attend both nights?
Both sessions ran 6:30–8:30 PM at the Kevin Brady Community Center (2250 Buckthorne Pl, The Woodlands, TX 77380). October 13 built a shared, calm understanding of what AI is actually doing in our lives right now. October 27 offered a chance to ask real experts real questions. The nights built on each other, but each stood on its own.
What did it cost?
There was no charge to attend.
What ages could attend?
13 years and up, with a parent.
Was childcare provided?
No childcare was provided for this event.
Was there food?
Guests were asked to eat beforehand. HEB sponsored light snacks and water.
Did I need any tech background or prior knowledge of AI?
No. The event was built for people with zero AI background just as much as people who follow the topic closely. All that was asked was a genuine interest in leading the kids in your life with clarity.
Is this a religious event?
No. Thrive Offline’s programs are values-based, not faith-based, grounded in shared human values like honesty, curiosity, and responsibility to the next generation, and open to people of any background or none.
