Apple's Offers

As mentioned to a few Tech Angels on Friday, September 8th, I would like to know if you are interested in either of the two offers from Apple described below. Unfortunately, both events are during the school holidays.

1. Friday Oct 13th (end of school holidays): We are running a Kids Day at Apple primarily aimed at employees children. The day will include lots of activities in our "classrooms" with lunch etc. We would like to extend this invite to your students to participate in the day, perhaps working with the teenage group creating Scary Movie 7 (Friday 13th) or something similar.

2. Steve Doyle [Apple's National Professional Development Manager] is looking to "hire" a group of students to work as his "Video Crew" for the 18th annual Innovative Technology Schools Conference being held at UTS Sydney on December 12 - 15. These students will be engaged in filming & interviewing delegates & presenters, editing video and generally having fun. He would like to offer this to your students.

The second option sounds like a great opportunity and would look pretty impressive on your CV's it seems to me. But I understand that the timing may be impractical for some of you.

Please give this your immediate and serious consideration. If you are interested in either event, discuss it with your parents to get an idea of whether they're supportive - we'll need their permission in due course. You don't have to commit until we have all the details but I'd like to give Apple a pretty firm indication of our interest, if any, this week.

I'd REALLY like your feedback on this matter via comments on this posting before Wednesday., September 13th. Come talk to me in the interim if necessary. OK?

Thanks for our prompt attention to this request.
