Learning new technology can be difficult for senior citizens. The Senior Citizen Advisory Committee is trying to help with that.
It held a free class for participants ages 60 and older thanks to the City of Reno's Senior Engagement Funds from the American Rescue Plan Act funding.
The City hopes that these classes can help alleviate the stress that comes with this difficult learning curve.
"It can be intimidating utilizing their technology like it's very overwhelming if they don't know how to use it at all, so that's why I like to teach these classes, so they are able to be more relaxed with using their technology,” says Izabella Baumann, senior engagement coordinator, City of Reno.
Although Thursday’s class is full, Baumann told us that she wants to host more classes in March and April.
Those classes will be free as well and they will likely work with other technology such as tablets and computers.
