By the end of this course, students will know how to connect more easily, avoid scams and fraud, identify reliable health resources, and virtually attend cultural events and museum exhibits. This course will give students the chance to meaningfully practice skills learned in a Basics or Essentials course. Space is limited. Students must be 60+ to register.
