Digital Literacy with AARP OATS: Emojis, GIFs & More!

Our Adult Learners team returned to the Catholic Charities Hispanic Senior Center for another fun and interactive session with AARP’s Older Adults Technology Services (OATS). This time, seniors learned how to search, understand, and use emojis and GIFs to express themselves online.📱

Thanks to the OATS and the Senior Planet program, over 1.5 million older adults nationwide are gaining the confidence to connect digitally, and 88% feel more connected to loved ones because of it!

Through our continued partnership and in-person workshops, Esperanza is proud to help bridge the digital divide and bring joyful learning moments to our community’s seniors. 💬💖

STEAM Summer Camp Visits NASA Glenn Research Center!

Our STEAM Summer Camp students had an unforgettable opportunity to explore the wonders of science, technology, engineering, art, and math during an exciting visit to the NASA Glenn Research Center!

From hands-on exhibits to real-world innovations, students got a behind-the-scenes look at how NASA is shaping the future of space exploration, right here in Northeast Ohio!

The experience sparked curiosity, inspired dreams, and deepened their connection to STEAM careers.

We are thrilled to have partnered with the research center to give our youth access to opportunities that expand their horizons and encourage them to reach for the stars!
