AARP has free online classes for seniors this week on topics like electric vehicles, history, cooking and more.
Several times a week, AARP sponsors free classes that you can stream to your computer or smartphone. Each lecture is presented by an expert and is followed by a live Q&A where you can ask questions.
These events are FREE to everyone (AARP membership not required) but you must register in advance to attend. The schedule for some of the top free Virtual Lectures is below.
If you are interested in one of the events, visit the AARP Virtual Community Center and click on the event. Registration is limited and often closes quickly. After you register, AARP will email you a link to the live event which you can view on your computer or smartphone.
