We'd like to know about your interests and experiences. The Apple Computer Clubs help make this happen. Because of club involvement, students and advisers learn more about computer use, and children have the opportunity to use their computing skills to benefit their schools, themselves and needy groups in their communities. User groups and Apple Computer Clubs are a natural match. Many user groups have special interest groups for children, or have members that teach professionally or volunteer time in their local school to work with kids and computers.
Corporations also recognize the important role they can play in education.
Since the Apple Computer Clubs program is part of the Apple User Group Connection, starting or working with the clubs is easy. The Apple Computer Clubs Handbook describes how to start and run a successful club. The Activity Plan Book highlights specific projects for children and adults to work on. Apple Computer Clubs are regularly honored by national magazines, and members have been named citizens of the year and computer educators of the year. This year, the 1989 National Merit Competition in which both children and clubs are able to win equipment and national recognition had winners flown to Washington, D.C., to compete for grand prize honors.
