Project iPad Information

Project iPad was a community-driven initiative established in Berkeley Heights, New Jersey, to bridge the digital divide for the elderly population. Our primary mission was to combat social isolation among seniors living in local care facilities by providing them with the technology needed to communicate with their loved ones. We organized the collection of used tablets from the community and managed the complete technical refurbishment of every device. The team worked directly with facility directors to distribute these units and provided essential training to ensure residents could effectively use them for video calls and entertainment. This student-led effort demonstrated how targeted technology solutions can foster meaningful connections and improve the quality of life for senior citizens.
