This intergenerational hackathon will be focused on travel. Hackers will be encouraged to create and design ideas that make travel universally efficient for all ages.
• Are there aspects of travel that older adults find particularly challenging? If so, what are they?
• How can older adults travel in style and class?
• How can we make traveling more efficient, less expensive and more accessible?
• How can we encourage older adults to continue exploring the world and decrease isolation?
