About this Event

“As the world continues to experience rapid advancements in technology, it’s vital to ensure accessible spaces for older Americans to stay informed and connected,” noted AARP’s Kristin Dillon, Senior Vice President for State and Community Engagement.

On December 4, 2023, the national nonprofit, Older Adults Technology Services (OATS) opened a new Senior Planet Center for older adults ages 50-plus in the vibrant, cultural neighborhood of Wynwood, Miami. As the area’s first American Association for Retired Persons (AARP) funded technology-themed community center for older adults, visitors can get help with technology and learn new skills in a spacious, modern center packed with 72 screens, featuring state-of-the-art computer equipment and Wi-Fi – all free of charge. The Senior Planet center will conduct a series of 12 OATS sessions. Computer Basics for Older Adults is funded by AARP.

The Senior Planet OATS trainer, Erik Gonzalez will provide these technology sessions at the African American Research Library and Cultural Center on for 12 weeks. Our first session begins Wednesday, 27 August 2025 and continues for 12 weeks through November 19, 2025. Please note that class will not meet on Wednesday, November 19, 2025. All participants must be 50 years old or older.

Prerequisite: All participants must have an active Gmail account. If assistance in creating one is needed, please contact the direct line of Senior Planet at 888-713-3495. They will be more than happy to assist.
