38. IMPORTANT ! This project was NOT about Technology It’s about changing the perspective of our young people. By providing a contest where they need to understand and think of the issues as they relate to the elderly, we hope that the lessons they’ve learned here (in the virtual world) will go back with them into the real world - causing them to pause and think when they plan new cities, build homes or engineer new solutions for our daily lives.
