OATS Classes @ Top Floor

August 15, 2023January 9, 2024

Top Floor has partnered with Senior Planet and OATS, both part of AARP, to offer FREE technology classes for the 60+ crowd. We are honored and delighted to bring these to our community here in the Quaboag Valley!

From single-session lectures, to one or two session workshops, to multi-week courses, these programs are designed to “empower older adults with the tools and training necessary to take advantage of today’s technology and use it to enrich their lives.” We here at Top Floor want to bring the power of the internet to our community in the Valley, especially for those of us who learned math on slide rules, not graphing calculators!
