I only got foosball, basketball, and maybe painting when I went in the 80s lol. Good to see they are supporting outlets like the B&GC.
Hehehe I was thinking something along the lines.

By the way, we need a club like this for adults, bring them Macs for free!


Great way to get rid of old inventory.
And I would gladly take it if it was offered to me... I prefer to see the positive on this move.

Love this! The Boys and Girls Club is such a great place for kids, glad to see Apple giving support like this. My Eagle Scout project was raising money to buy computers for the local B&GC, so I really vibe with this.

And the race is on to see who can conjure up the best ulterior motive for Apple's philanthropy. I guess that makes some people happy. For an hour or so, anyway.

Yep, what kids need now is more time in front of screens :-s Don't get me wrong, I loved screens as a kid in the 80s, but I'm glad that it wasn't my entire existence - I had physical toys as well...

"The labs, which focus on science, technology, engineering, art, and math, as well as design and career training, also include Apple's Everyone Can Code, Everyone Can Create, and Develop in Swift programs."

so... basically everything except actual face-to-face social interaction. Instead we will teach kids that the best form of expression is my emojies and 140character tweets.

If there is one thing that has undermined society this decade it has been decreasing meaningful, long form social interactions in lieu of quick shots of low quality content.

Colour me skeptical.
