The original program was developed in Palo Alto, California at Sunrise Senior Center.  Seed funding through Dr. Zimbardo and Heroic Imagination Project, and a generous donation. 

I was so inspired by the mission of HIP, I realized I could see my dream realized of unlocking the elderly that are isolated in residential care facilities.  Dr. Zimbardo mentored and supported me through encouragement and review of the TechHeroes program description and grant proposal that was awarded funding for the 2 year pilot program.
TechHeroes Bloomington began May 2018, watch us Bloom!

 TechHeroes - Now with Remote Training & Support

Working One one One we can connect and make connections.

The Internet has become the library of today and the communication hub for sharing email, photos and video. 

Providing access, support and tools necessary to successfully navigate the information conduit of today is our goal.

"We want the high school students to see our world and we want to experience their world".
