Connecting Students and Seniors Through Mentorship, Technology and Education in Houston
Bridging Generations Through VR is a mobile mentorship program that connects Houston’s youth and elders through shared, immersive virtual experiences—building empathy, skills, and legacy.
“We’re not just using VR to teach—we’re using it to connect hearts across generations.”
The Vision
The Challenge
Many students lack access to role models and life skill guidance. Soft skills like empathy, listening, and communication are declining. Over 12% of Houston’s population is 65+. Many face loneliness, under-stimulation, and tech exclusion. Wisdom is being lost instead of passed on!
We bring mobile VR stations to schools and senior centers for shared learning experiences that are:
Immersive: Students and seniors explore virtual worlds together—like space, deep sea, historical landmarks
Guided: Each session includes storytelling, reflection, and life skill discussions
Empowering: Elders become mentors, students become curious learners—and both become more connected
