GenConnect App

Great news for our many students who have created technology to assist #Alzheimers patients and caretakers. Also, a wonderful story of a mother-daughter duo who could change how we see this disease forever. @Paula_Piccard

We've spent the last 2 days at @CanConnectEd. We've met SO many inspiring educators and learned so much about how to help close the gender gap in tech in Canada. We also met these change makers who created @genconnect, which placed in Canada's top 10 @technovation! #CanConnectEd

We LOVE making inter-generational connections through learning! Our friends at @GenConnectApp created an AWESOME app for grandparents & youth to instant chat and social share 😁 Check it out !#CanConnectEd #Engage
