Indiana Tech to present technology workshops for seniors in April
March 5, 2026Indiana Tech, in partnership with Ball Ventures, will present five free workshops in April to seniors who want to learn more about technology.
The Senior Digital Skills Technology Workshops will be held at the Parkview Family YMCA Community Room, 10001 Dawsons Creek Blvd., Fort Wayne, IN 46825.
These workshops are being made possible by a grant awarded to Indiana Tech in August 2025 by the Ball Venture Fund. The intent of the grant is to design and deliver hands-on training that makes today’s technology more understandable and accessible for our senior community.
Indiana Tech received four grants during 2025 totaling over $650,000 for AI-related research as it works to position itself as the leading university in the region for AI resources and education.
Those interested can register at sdl.tcecs.org by Tuesday, March 31. Each workshop lasts from 8:30 to 10 a.m.
