TechHeroes Bloomington

Bridging the digital divide through compassion, innovation, and inspiration.

Bridge the Digital Divide Technology has become a vital part of our everyday life but not for seniors and they often feel left behind. In an effort to bridge the digital divide for seniors, the TechHeroes program fosters increase mental health, and aptitude through supported and effective use of technology. Many residents love to research old friends contact information, watch video of concerts, shop, email and connect with family on social media.

I was so inspired by the mission of HIP (The Heroic Imagination Project in Palo Alto, CA), I realized I could see my dream realized of unlocking the elderly that are isolated in residential care facilities. Dr. Zimbardo mentored and supported me through encouragement and review of the TechHeroes program description and grant proposal that was awarded funding for the 2-year pilot program.

This is what Betty had to say from on of our focus group meetings . . .

"We want the high school students to see our world and we want to experience their world".
