COURTESY OF AARP MAINE

AARP Maine is proud to present its latest lineup of Senior Planet® events, a dynamic series designed to empower older adults with the tools, knowledge, and confidence to thrive in today’s digital world. Whether you’re curious about artificial intelligence, eager to master your smartphone, or looking to make smart financial decisions, this fall’s Senior Planet series offers something for everyone.

Hosted virtually, these free events are part of AARP Maine’s ongoing commitment to lifelong learning and community engagement. The sessions are tailored for adults 50+, but all are welcome to join and benefit from the expert-led workshops and interactive discussions.

What’s on the schedule? This season’s highlights include:

  • Tips for Being News Savvy Online: Learn how technology has made it easier to create and spread misinformation. We’ll discuss tools to evaluate news sources and review helpful fact-checking sites to keep you safe and in the know.
  • Saving Money with Tech: Let us introduce you to online banking and how to keep your financial information safe. You’ll also learn about online shopping and explore some digital resources for saving money on entertainment, prescription drugs, and everyday items. 
  • Estate Planning Made Simple: Get practical advice on organizing your finances and protecting your legacy. This class provides an overview of some common documents found in an estate plan as well as free or low-cost resources and digital tools to help you get started.
  • Smartphone Camera Use: Your smartphone camera can do so much more than take photos! Discover practical and easy-to-use features built right into your phone. 

Each session is designed to be engaging, accessible, and immediately useful—whether you’re a tech novice or looking to sharpen your skills. Plus, you’ll have the chance to connect with fellow Mainers, share experiences, and build lasting relationships.
