How might we provide opportunities for seniors to connect with and contribute to society, helping them feel relevant as they age in a changing world?

We started off wanting to explore ways to improve wellbeing for seniors. After engaging with seniors living in nursing home, seniors living independently, and their caretakers, we identified their needs and started brainstorming! Ultimately, we came up with Book Buddies, a digital platform that connects seniors to young children through reading and storytelling.
