Abstract	The purpose of this paper was to share an intergenerational approach for learning as undergraduate students became researchers. Student-researchers selected one topic as a team that was anchored in gerontological theory and then interviewed and taught elder participants using a qualitative approach. The richness of this qualitative research process suggested heightened engagement in learning. Students expressed increased connectedness to their academics and interest toward working with elders. Additionally, elder participants enjoyed both hands-on learning activities and interviews. For the presentation, various intergenerational research projects were described including: technology, reminiscing, life meaning, journaling and entertainment. For this synopsis, one project about technology will be interwoven as an example that was written by six student-researchers in one Psychology of Aging course.
