Fujitsu and Cyber-Seniors teamed up for a unique Preserving Memories project. Teen volunteers from the Breesee Youth Center worked together with adults at St. Barnabas Senior Center in Los Angeles, CA, to teach technology skills. They used ScanSnap scanners to digitize important items and share them with family and friends.
Cyber-Seniors teamed up with Best Buy to bring technology to residents at the Kiwanis Care Centre in Canada’s British Columbia. Thanks to the generous tech donations from Best Buy and teaching resources found on the Cyber-Seniors website, the students from Windsor Secondary are helping the residents at the Kiwanis Care Centre learn to use technology.
The seniors are now using tablets to search the Internet and play games, using Skype to connect with family and friends, and they’re even incorporating games on the Wii U into their daily physical activities.
