Jailbreak it and you can install compatible older apps via IPA files:

This is good advice, though a lot of work. I’m still looking for a straightforward (and time-efficient) way to make use of my good old iPad 2. It would be so nice to use it as a simple a tablet or calendar! (As mentioned by @smoldesu below).

So far the best I have been able to do is to use it to (very inefficiently) view recipes while cooking.

Thanks!
