Our OATS Programs
Technology is changing the way we connect, learn, work, and access everyday services but no one should feel left behind.
Bean Path's Older Adults Technology Services (OATS) program helps older adults build confidence using today's technology through hands-on, beginner-friendly classes and personalized support. Whether you're learning how to use your smartphone, send emails, attend video calls, stay safe online, or explore new digital tools, our instructors are here to guide you every step of the way.
Our goal is simple: make technology easier, more accessible, and empowering for every older adult.
Build confidence using everyday technology with hands-on instruction covering smartphone basics, internet navigation, email, online safety, video calls, and other essential digital skills designed specifically for older adults.
Beginning OATS Class
Expand your digital knowledge through interactive lessons focused on productivity tools, cloud storage, online services, mobile apps, digital organization, troubleshooting, and practical technology skills for everyday life.
Advanced OATS Class
Discover how artificial intelligence can simplify everyday tasks, enhance creativity, improve productivity, and help you confidently use today's emerging AI tools through engaging, beginner-friendly instruction.
OATS Artificial Intelligence Class
I've taken multiple OATS classes because I want to learn everything they have to offer. These classes have replaced my fear of technology with confidence. They teach practical skills we can use every day while preparing us for a world that's constantly changing. I'd much rather have the knowledge and not need it than need it and not have it. OATS is truly helping older adults stay connected and confident.
