In an effort to demystify the digital world for its senior residents, the city of Chandler is teaming up with SeniorTechPal for a special event this October. Dubbed the Golden Neighbor’s Technology Tips event, it's slated for Thursday, Oct. 17. It aims to arm the elderly community with the know-how to navigate the perplexing realm of modern technology – from cell phones to tablets.
Whether you're a senior feeling lost in the sea of apps and icons, or an adept user looking for a few more tricks, this gathering is beckoning. According to the City of Chandler official website, the free workshop will include a series of experts from SeniorTechPal, a nonprofit focused on educating seniors on technological fluency. They're set to review various tips and tricks and will stand ready to tackle your most pressing 'How do I...' questions.
Participants are encouraged to bring the devices they wish to master – be it a laptop, cell phone, iPad, or tablet. Ensure your gadgets are charged and ready for some hands-on learning. The event, not just an educational endeavor but also social, will include a light breakfast, lest the learning consumes not just your curious mind but also your appetite.
Interested seniors can RSVP by calling the city’s Neighborhood Programs Office at 480-782-4362 or registering online at the dedicated Golden Neighbors portal. The event will unfold at the ASU Chandler Innovation Center, located at 249 E. Chicago St., from 9:30-11 a.m.
For more details on this tech-savvy initiative, you can reach out to Stephanie Romero, Chandler’s Public Information Officer, at 480-782-2231. With October already upon us, and the date fast approaching, it's high time to mark your calendars for an event that bridges the technological divide, one tap and swipe at a time.
