Our Program
We are pleased to inform you that we will be providing weekly 2-hour lessons led by teenagers to low-income elderly individuals who are interested in acquiring electronic skills during the summer. The teenagers will be utilizing their generational knowledge to assist the elders in learning new skills, which has been scientifically proven to enhance cognitive function. This is a mutually beneficial opportunity for both parties involved to learn and grow together. Here's a few sessions on our agenda..

What is WIFI
Alright, listen up folks! Wi-Fi is the secret sauce that makes the internet go brrrrr. It's like a magical unicorn that uses radio waves to beam cat videos and memes straight to your phone or computer. No more tangled cords or awkwardly sitting next to the router like a caveman. Wi-Fi, you da real MVP!
You Got Mail
Email is like a high-tech carrier pigeon, minus the feathers and the chance of getting pooped on. It's like a genie in a bottle, but instead of granting wishes, it delivers messages, memes, and all sorts of shenanigans. And the best part? You can do it all while lounging in your PJs and munching on your favorite cereal. Who needs real-life communication when you have email, am I right?
There's an App for that.
Apps have revolutionized the way we live our lives. With just few taps on our phones, we can do everything from ordering food to booking a ride to the airport. They make our lives so much more convenient and efficient. It's amazing how much power we hold in the palm of our hands thanks to these little digital helpers.
