There's never a dull moment at Tuesday Club, with something different to enjoy each week! 👏🏼

💙 This week, we welcomed the lovely Nadene from Lymph 4 Life, who shared valuable information about lymphoedema, along with helpful resources and practical self-care tips. Thank you, Nadene, for an informative morning!

Last week we loved connecting with the community during our free 'AI – What, How and Why' workshop at Bonnells Bay Youth & Community Centre as part of our Building Digital Skills program! 💻

Participants explored the basics of ChatGPT, discovered practical ways AI can be used in everyday life, and learnt some important tips for using AI safely and confidently.

It was wonderful getting to know the learners, sharing knowledge and learning from each other along the way! ✨

One of the best parts of our Building Digital Skills program has been getting out into our community, connecting with new learners across Newcastle and Lake Macquarie and supporting them to build their digital skills and confidence 💙

Get Online Week was a blast!! 🎉

On Wednesday we had a fantastic time celebrating Get Online Week with people aged 50 and over coming together to explore and discover new things online! 📲

From creating amazing images using AI and exploring the world with Google Earth to putting their online shopping detective skills to the test and discovering games and resources on the Be Connected website, learners had plenty of fun trying new things! It was a wonderful reminder that it's never too late to learn something new, explore the digital world and build confidence using technology 💙

🏆 A big congratulations to the winners of our AI image competition! We loved seeing everyone's creativity come to life!

Thanks to everyone who joined us and to Good Things Foundation Australia for making this event possible 👏🏼
