TechWise
Empowering older adults to have fun pursuing technology education and navigating the digital world securely.
About TechWise
Techwise is about empowering older adults to continue learning about technology by combining gaming with personalized education. We leverage foundation models to try and best replicate what it would be like for our user to be learning from a real person. By encouraging users to incorporate the technologies they already use in their day-to-day life, we combine this with their learning goals to create continued learning opportunities not only about what a technology is but also how it can be incorporated into their real life.
