In partnership with high school Hyperion, we launched a 5-month program dedicated to teaching digital skills to seniors aged 63 and older. With support from teachers and student volunteers and Shape Robotics educators, this project takes place in the school’s SmartLab donated by Shape Robotics in 2022.
WHAT DID WE AIM FOR?

WHO ARE THE REAL HEROES HERE?
Young Mentors, Big Impact
The students of Hyperion High School became more than volunteers—they became mentors, leaders, and community builders. By guiding seniors through the world of technology, these students developed not only digital teaching skills, but also empathy, communication, patience, and a deep sense of civic responsibility. Their journey proved that real learning happens when generations come together, and knowledge flows both ways.
"This project is not just about skills—it’s about dignity, inclusion, and reminding our seniors they still belong at the heart of our community."

“When a senior learns to send an email, pay a bill online, or video call a loved one — they don’t just learn a skill, they regain their independence and confidence."
