Glad to hear this. Mine attended first session today, shame half of the people didn't turn up, nor bother to cancel the booking so as to allow those on the waiting list to attend.

I had the same problem - couldn't find the email - then remembered that I'd signed up to the camp using my apple id - so the confirmation email will be in the email account you use to sign into itunes/icloud etc. Hope that helps.

Just got the update from Apple Summer Camp that due to long waiting list, they will enforce just one summer camp per child policy. So if you have more than one camp booked for one child, it is likely they will contact you to decide which one you would like to keep. It also means those on the waiting list should hear good news after 5th July when they release the waiting list places.

Yes as I said because they are the only product taught in schools. Back in the day we had a selection and competition which at the end of the day would be better.

My point exactly, if schools taught and used a variety of options rather than just MS we might still have competition! Remember all the choices we used to have back in the 80s/90s?

All businesses use Windows and Microsoft products. It's useful to know how they work.

Yep but not as bad as Microsoft almost giving away their software to schools. Every kid is taught how to use Windows and MS Office and are exposed to nothing else meaning when they get out into the world of work that is all they know...

Not sure about slightly older but mine was slightly younger for the 2016 summer camp and no problem at all. No ID or age check.

If the child is slightly older, ie 14 do they restrict them from coming?

90% of development is done on PC's all my developers use PC's as they are coding for industrial applications. Mac development is mainly for leasure and media applications.
I bet they don't use what everyone else uses to teach kids to code......a £30 Raspberry Pi! No they will be using expensive Apple kit to promote it. Don't care what anyone says this is unethical product promotion.

I should have been more specific and said 90% of Apple programming is done on a macOS environment - not on an iPad running iOS with a virtual keyboard.

Schools are there to prepare children for industry, which the vast majority of uses Microsoft products.

I honestly find this whole concept highly unethical. You can just imagine the meeting between the top guys at apple and their marketing team....
"How can we lure more people into using Apple products?"
"Well, I think we should get them using our stuff at an earlier age, get them hooked on the Apple brand as early as possible"
"Brilliant, lets set up some brainwashing sessions and dress it up as a fun free summer camp"

Not just that, I expect the whole thing can be written off against however little tax they pay.. Got to hand it to them though nice little trick.

The 'best programmers' always use £3,899.00 Mac Pro's. iPad's are just for playing games.
There's going to be a lot of disappointed kids come Christmas time.

What you on about? These classes teach the kids code. They aren't teaching them to buy apple products. Have you actually been to one?

Doesn't matter what educational motivation and learning kids gain from it we still need to judge them on based on our own prejudice rather than look at the benefits

My son did the coding one last year and really enjoyed it - think it was three days, two hours each. He got the free tshirt also
He's too old now sadly - wish they ran a class for teens
