Because curiosity shouldn't retire
When was the last time you did something for the first time?
You've built a career, a family, a financial legacy.
Now what?

“Now act your age, and relax.”
“Take it easy, you've worked hard for
this.”
We disagree.
Your experience has endless value. Your curiosity is limitless.
Retirement can bring freedom, but it can also bring a sudden stillness. We believe meaningful lives need more than comfort. They need new challenges, fresh perspectives, and people to share them with.
A Different Kind of Classroom.
Once a month, a cohort of 25 curious people comes together at IIIT Hyderabad for two to
three hours of learning, conversation and exploration.
No two sessions need to look the same.
Depending on the question, learning might mean a conversation with an expert, an interactive workshop, an experiment, a debate, a hands-on activity, or simply seeing a familiar subject from an entirely new perspective.
Qualified facilitators. Interesting questions. Different ways of learning.
A curated cohort designed for conversation.
Enough time to go beyond a talk.
A university campus to return to.
Come back to campus.
Silver Rooms is housed at IIIT Hyderabad, bringing together the
university's expertise across technology, AI, cognition and the sciences with a community of curious learners.
It's also an opportunity to experience something surprisingly simple:
the experience of returning to a university campus to learn again.
For people who aren't done asking questions.
Silver Rooms is for people 50+ who are curious-first.
People who have spent years building things, solving problems and learning what they needed to know, and now want the freedom to learn something simply because it's interesting.
You don't need to be an expert.
You don't need to know what you're looking for.
Just bring your curiosity.
Silver Rooms is part of New North.
