STRONGSVILLE, Ohio — It is not the usual crowd you see walking into the Strongsville Senior Center. Sixth graders from Strongsville Middle School, located just down the way, are here to help seniors with their cell phones and tablets. It is called TechKNOWledgy with Teens and it is a partnership between the middle school and the senior center. The kids help the seniors with everything from making calls, texts, calendar additions, to emails, video chats and general phone settings. Anything the seniors have questions with the kids try to answer and more times than not they do, or the pair works together to resolve the problem.
