Overview
Using AI to Dream is a hands-on generative AI workshop for libraries, community programs, schools, nonprofits, and public-facing organizations that serve people with different levels of digital confidence. It addresses a common challenge: people are curious about AI, but they do not yet know how to connect it to real goals, creative work, business ideas, or everyday progress.
Participants explore practical uses of AI through simple examples in writing, planning, and image creation, anchored by a food truck activity that makes the experience concrete and memorable. They then apply the same process to their own idea with guidance. They leave with a one-page plan, copy-and-use question scripts, and a responsible-use checklist for accuracy, privacy, and safety.

The Problem This Workshop Solves
Many organizations are being asked to introduce AI to people who are interested but intimidated. The risk is that AI education becomes either too abstract to use or too technical to feel welcoming. When people cannot see how AI connects to their own goals, they often remain stuck. Projects stay unfinished, ideas lose momentum, and AI feels like something meant for someone else. This workshop solves that gap by giving participants a simple, repeatable method for asking better questions, improving outputs, and checking results before they act.
