KEEPER WORKSHOP 1.0 was an initiative to gather more data for KEEPER. I decided to host a community event in my hometown of Detroit, MI, at a local coffee shop named ROSA. This particular shop held special significance, as it was founded by the granddaughter of one of the earliest black residents in my neighborhood. This establishment had a rich history that I believed needed to be shared, making it the ideal setting to gauge interest in learning about KEEPER, its purpose, and the concept of AI. To my delight, I managed to attract 20 participants to this event, and their enthusiastic response has motivated me to organize more gatherings in the future. The data collection process involved distributing prompts printed on cards, which were then randomly assigned to participants. They would write their responses on pieces of paper and deposit them into a box, ensuring anonymity and open sharing of ideas.
