Going to the 'Extreme'

Connie Powers shows Layne Jumonbille how senior citizens use a walker to safely navigate through their homes during a demonstration in which students had to complete the challenge while wearing goggles that blocked their vision, gloves that helped impair fine motor skills in their hands and cotton balls that cut down on their ability to hear the instructions from the instructors. During the day, students participated in more than a dozen activities aimed at helping them make smart lifestyle choices on topics like exercise, nutrition, sun safety, teamwork, self-esteem and aging.
