Microsoft/Aging2.0 Buenos Aires Chapter event took place on Thursday June 13rd at Microsoft Headquarters in Buenos Aires.
The main speaker was Jorge Cella. Jorge is Microsoft Philantropies Regional Director, covering South American countries. Aging2.0 Buenos Aires Chapter Ambassador Alicia Moszkowski and Deputy Ambassador Ana Gambaccini also addressed the public.
It was a very exciting morning. We welcomed our guests for breakfast and then spent 3 hours together. During the first two hours, Jorge Cella explained corporate views about technology and everyday’s life, and shared tools withus. The idea was to introduce seniors into the programming world and specially to incentívate them to challenge themselves daring to break stereotypes and dive into new activities. He specially focused on Microsoft online library and invited everybody to start trying with special games. Each one of of the attendees compromised to train two seniors in these activities.
An hour was dedicated to questions and answers. Educational matters were discussed, as programming is not still included in public schools in our country.
All attendees were deeply interested on the topics discussed, and a volunteers networking team is being built.
