Relational Intelligence (RQ)
In-Person
Building a Relational Future in the Age of AI
Relationships are fundamental to how children of all ages learn, develop, and flourish. This interactive workshop begins with the science of relationships and explores why Relational Intelligence (RQ), the capacity to connect, build trust, collaborate, navigate differences, and repair, matters even more in the age of AI.
When: Thursday, October 22, 2026 from 12 to 2 pm
Where: The Kehillah School in Palo Alto, CA
Human Connection by Design
