Senior Planet Programs as of Nov 1, 2025

87 Lectures

One-off lectures introduce popular tech topics and themes in a clear and concise manner. Individual lectures aim
to explain the general purpose of a device or concept, its usefulness and important tips and tricks. Lectures do not
offer hands-on exposure to the presented topic, but many of them can be scheduled in conjunction with a related
interactive workshop that offers hands-on experience with the website or online platform discussed in the lecture.
Lectures are typically 60-75 minutes and participant numbers are uncapped.
