Engineering Club Looking for a Mac
The La Canada Engineering Club is looking for a Snow Leopard capable Mac. On January 21, five students from the 7/8 and high schools attended a MATE Underwater ROV video workshop and received two video cameras capable of underwater filming. While we can work with the PC based Movie Maker, the students worked with iMovie 11 and it is pretty amazing. So if you know of a donation source for a Mac, please contact the club at szimmerman@lcusd.net. Thanks.
