Having just become a father, I'm even more aware of a parent's desire to give their child as many tools as possible to experience creative play. The scavenger hunt helps them use the latest Net information available, while teaching them how to assimilate graphics, pictures and charts into homework, school projects, and papers. ACE also plans to extend the experience outside of camp via online classes. Again, not an Apple among them. Originating in the summer of 1993, on the Stanford and MIT campuses, the ACE summer computer camp was designed for children with all levels of computer experience, from beginners to experts.
Campers also receive a course-book that they can during camp and as a resource once camp concludes.
Apple needs to contact these ACE organizers to become a sponsor, to get Macs added to the curriculum, and to help balance out that curriculum. No matter how you connect to the Internet, it's never fast enough. You've got files to download, pages to see. So don't just wait there.
