In this episode, Tom Lawson talks to Dr Gurusharan Singh Gogna, Teacher of Physics, Applied Mathematics, Enterprise & The STEM Practical Lab at the King’s Hospital School in Dublin. They talk about the school’s award-winning Tech Drive programme that sees teenage pupils teaching elderly care home residents how to safely use mobile phones and other devices – and about the positive intergenerational relationships that blossom as a result.

At a time when the daily news is dominated by the dangers of mobile phones, AI and the internet, this story provides a valuable reminder that there are two sides to every story and that Tech can be used for good too.
