Space and possibilities
The first step in the executing the program is mapping and selecting potential laboratories, in other words, choosing spaces where the program can be run.

An Oldnet laboratory can be adjusted to any space that will hold the minimum infrastructure needed and meet the criteria for classes to be held properly. You can structure the right kind of environment in a school, a library, a hospital, a home for seniors, a firm, or even in a café or restaurant.

The choice of space will define places for recruiting young people, the number of computers and, consequently, the number of seniors and volunteers.

Equipment
The laboratory should provide 3 to 8 computers, with one young person and one senior on each machine. Having less than three pairs (a pair being one young person and one senior) would mean restricting socializing opportunities for those involved and would hinder the forming of a group for interchanges and learning experiences. On the other hand, having more than eight pairs of one young person+ one senior could hinder personalized monitoring of activities.

Computers should be networked and set up to meet basic recommended requirements, including current programs, word processors, graphics programs, etc.

It is desirable to have a kit multimedia for each computer, with loudspeakers and microphones, in order to expand the potential of classes and provide the on-line interaction between participants from different laboratories. 

Internet access is fundamental, preferably broadband connections for their flexibility and speed of data processing.

One printer per laboratory is satisfactory to facilitate copies of work and other records, so that seniors have the contents of weekly classes to hand.
