Think gaming is just for kids? Think again! Reconnect with play while discovering how gaming can support brain health, boost problem-solving skills, and create meaningful social connections. Whether you’re revisiting classics or trying something new, this experience is all about laughter, friendly competition, and keeping your mind engaged. Bring a friend or come solo—either way, you’ll leave with new connections and a fresh perspective on how play can empower healthy aging.
- Explore basic concepts of video games and gaming, and the benefits they can provide
- Take a look at popular games and consoles, and how to get started with free games.
- Try out a few online games with support from the Nevada eSports Education League.
- Following the discussion, registrants will receive a one hour game play card to explore a variety of arcade and console-style games courtesy of AARP Nevada. One game card per person will be available to registered attendees while supplies last.
NOTE: Refreshments will not be provided by AARP Nevada, but are available for purchase from Cafe Nesto inside the Game Nest Arcade.
