Here’s your chance to have lunch with Apple CEO Tim Cook at Apple Park

If you want to pick the brain of one of the biggest, most prominent names in tech, you’re going to need money—a lot of it. But at least the cost is going to a good cause. Apple CEO Tim Cook partners once again with Charitybuzz to give fans a chance to have a one-hour lunch with him. It’s his fifth time hosting this charity lunch but it’ll be the first one that’ll be hosted at the new Apple Park campus. Like before, the winning bidder will get to bring one more person to the lunch. And while the meal is included in the bid, travel and accommodations aren’t. The bidding ends on May 16^th at 3 p.m. EDT. At the moment there are already nine bids valued at US$84,888. The auction listing itself has an estimated value of US$100,000.

The proceeds for the auction will go to the Robert F. Kennedy Center for Justice and Human Rights. Cook became part of RFK Center’s board of directors last year after years of supporting the charity. RFK Center aims for a just and peaceful world by teaming up with human rights leaders, teaching social justice, and advancing corporate responsibility. Last year, the winning bid was at U$515,000, which is US$95,000 less than the largest amount raised during the first year Cook hosted this lunch.

Drone video shows an almost complete Apple Park

This month is supposed to be the target when Apple employees will start moving into the company’s new 175-acre campus a.k.a. Apple Park in Silicon Valley. And as this new drown footage from Duncan Sinfield shows, the massive campus is close to being complete. You can even see furniture inside the building. Looks like it’s almost ready to welcome around 12,000 Apple employees into its ring.

New drone footage shows what Apple Park now looks like

Following the announcement that the new Apple campus will be named the Apple Park, a new 4K drone video from Matthew Roberts shows the progress that has been done to the campus as official move-in date approaches. Solar panel installation on the parking garages have been completed. There are also more solar panels on the main circular building but it isn’t fully complete yet. Landscaping efforts are also on the way with more trees showing up above the underground tunnel. The two-mile walkway is also now more visible. The video also shows a fitness center and the progress with the large courtyard within the main building. Over 12,000 employees will be working at Apple Park and that includes the company’s CEO Tim Cook.
