At the Gerald D. Hines College of Architecture & Design, the Empathetic Lifespan AI & Robotics for Aging (ELARA) Lab seeks to bridge the generational technology gap, exploring how adaptive AI, companion robots and empathetic design are transforming how adults, people with disabilities, families and care teams interact with modern technology.

Students at the University of Houston are helping document and preserve an important and often overlooked chapter of the Texas ranching and rodeo story through a new oral history initiative focused on Black cowboys and cowgirls across the state.
