About Our Courses
Our courses do more than just teach new tech skills.
Every Senior Planet course is intentionally designed to produce positive change in one or more of our five impact areas: social engagement, financial security, health and wellness, civic participation, and creativity. We believe that technology is a powerful tool for creating transformation, and our courses help older adults find new ways to live and thrive in today’s digital society. The best part? Joining us is easy!
