The Grandparent Project is run by the husband and wife team of Shayne (Grandpa Shayne) and Tanda (Grammy) Packer. (See About Us). We are currently writing a book on grandparenting that focuses on technology. We are also creating websites for grandparents and grandchildren. (For more information, please read the project description on the home page.) 



We want YOU

This is a “crowdsourced” project. This is a “grandsourced” project. Created by a crowd of grandparents. Created for grandparents. We want you to become a member of our team. This project is a work in progress, a piece of art, a creation. Together, we are inventing something very worthwhile to grandparents. Ideas from the crowd are vital. We would love to have your help!
