...putting teenagers and senior citizens in a room together so they could learn from one another.
The event, called “Ageless Intelligence,” took place in Sedro-Woolley where a banquet hall was set up like a science fair. There were booths with titles like, “How to do a reverse image search,” and, “What’s a large language model?”
Around 30 seniors between the ages of 60 and 85 mingled with more than 100 16- and 17-year-olds.
...a giant skills swap. The teenagers gave presentations about AI and technology. The seniors gave presentations about animal rescue and how to fix a flat tire.
[A senior] explained the art of writing a letter — by hand.
...they almost had to cancel the event because they couldn’t get enough seniors to enroll.
“I saw a different side of the teenagers. They were polite, caring, interested in each other and talking to older people."
