Our town has its own TV station. (I think most/all in Michigan do?) The other day I was watching the channel for snow information (geek, table for one) and saw that they offer classes on how to operate the cameras, edit stuff (how technical am I?) and all that good stuff. Once you take the classes, you can volunteer for them or you can produce/direct your own studio show. I am not even kidding. I talked to Alex to see if he would be interested in taking the classes, but told him that I would have to make sure a 14 year old homeschooled kid was allowed to.
I called today, and found out that anyone 12 and up is eligible. The woman I talked to sounded excited that a 14yo was interested.
The classes are $20 and then after we have to pay an annual $25 use fee, he can volunteer. She said that they are always looking for people to tape the football games, and school concerts, interviews with people... stuff like that.
Classes start January 12th. He is pretty excited.
