Summary | The Bronx is offering their local students computer programming classes - many more than average schools. The students in the Bronx are learning to code so that they can create the technology of the future rather than just consume it. A group of students presented an app they created to investors in Manhattan: it lets users post videos showing police brutality and makes an interactive map of where the incidents happened. Users can also play a game on the app in which they have to avoid ficticious police gun shots.

Summary | Marian Goldberg is 70, and she went to a Senior Planet Exploration Center to learn more about digital technologies. Now, she can use Pinterest and Facebook, and can use emojis in her emails. In our digital age, there are more and more senior centers that help older people to be more comfortable online. If older people learn how to use new technologies, they'll feel less isolated and less depressed, and their brain will stay active. GrandPad is a digital tablet that was created for older people; for instance, it allows you to tap a photo to call someone.
