My daughter did the iMovies one last year, and now she has a YouTube channel with 150 loyal followers.
I think the coding one will be good for this year.
Thank you, Apple for doing this!

Those kids need to travel to China to learn to make use of one. http://www.theverge.com/2016/6/20/11975356/chinese-supercomputer-worlds-fastes-taihulight

,My 8 year old really wants to make movies, but I'm just starting to learn iMovie and am not much help. He's also shown an interest in coding. Got him signed up for both - he'll be psyched. Thanks Apple, and thanks for posting, Macrumors.
I ran a few of these Apple camp classes for video and photo years ago. It was the main reason why I quit Apple retail... that and, oh yeah, bad compensation.
Ok, we're booked!This is so frustrating. My 8 year old autistic child would absolutely adore the programming one, but we're on holiday that week.
I found out he's already installed iOS 10 on his iPad (using my developers account - cheeky £$$£##£"!) and is enjoying Swift Playgrounds
We'll be crossing from our holiday home on the Isle of Wight via catamaran each day to Southampton! He's never been to an Apple Store, or a 'camp' or a boat like that before. Should be interesting.
My God, it's my job around here to be the pessimistic asshat, don't steal it!
I think it's wonderful that Apple are doing this.
When I was a young kid my parents had me go to a private computer school for kids.
It was a terrific experience and I took away some best practices for my entire life that are just natural to me.
Offering classes like these for kids is amazing, let alone providing them for free. There's only so much YouTube videos can do for you and how much they manage to engage you might vary a lot depending on what the video and your mood is like.
I take it that the folks doing these workshops for kids at Apple Stores are carefully selected and if I had been able to do some lessons on Macs over beige Windows PCs back in my days I'm sure I had been even more motivated.
This is all great and the benefits certainly outweigh the notion of developing a pro-Apple bias.
Free WiFi, amazing design and perfectly working air conditioning in major areas.
What could possibly go wrong.

At least Apple is doing something for kids, and it's free. Only the most spoiled kid would scrutinize the hardware, and those pampered and coddled little kids aren't likely to attend these seminars anyway.
Lol fair enough. But then again.. You can't price on their education.

I don't get it. You hate kids?
problem is parents tend to use the Apple store as a daycare centerMy God, it's my job around here to be the pessimistic asshat, don't steal it!

I'm (and was for the most part )an autistic tech and game nerd and I don't think I ever thought about anything being outdated like what you mean until when I was at least 13.
Still no confirmation for me either. Fortunately I still have the confirmation page open after I registered, which had a link for you to view your registration:
