Whiz Kids in the press
“Whiz Kids is empowering the seniors to overcome their fears and frustrations with technology.”
“I really realized my connection with the elderly when I was talking with seniors over Zoom during the Covid crisis when I was in eighth grade. That was a program set up by Brunswick, my middle school, to talk with seniors every Friday and help with the loneliness. That’s what really kicked it off for me. I sympathize with them. I understand when they feel overwhelmed and anxious.”
