Apple CEO Tim Cook 'Revolution: Apple Changing the World' interview airs April 6
MSNBC will be airing an interview featuring Apple CEO Tim Cook on April 6 as part of a town hall event series, with the interview discussing the impact of technology in education, including the company's plans to change the way children and adults learn in the future.
The interview is part of MSNBC and Recode's "Revolution" series of town hall interviews. The first installment took place in January and featured Google CEO Sundar Pichai and YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicji talking about their respective Alphabet organizations.
As indicated by MSNBC's announcement, Cook's interview will center around education, and will air the week after Apple's "Field Trip" event taking place on March 27. The town hall will in fact be held at Lane Tech College Prep High School in Chicago, IL., the same venue as the Apple event, but will be recorded one day later on March 28.
It is likely that Cook will discuss announcements made during the previous day's presentation, with current speculation pointing towards new iPad models with support for the Apple Pencil. Adding Apple Pencil support to the iPad would make the combination more attractive to schools and other education customers compared to the iPad Pro range, especially if it offers the stylus-based functionality at a lower price point.
Apple also announced a partnership with Chicago Public Schools and the City Colleges of Chicago in December, revealing an intention to introduce Swift programming curriculae to the city. Expected to launch in the spring, the Field Trip event could be the venue for its launch, with the teaching of code likely to be brought up as a topic during the interview.
MSNBC has made tickets available for the town hall through Eventbrite, with it open to anyone to register to attend, though attendees under the age of 18 will require their parent or legal guardian to sign a filming release form beforehand. Doors open for the event at 8:30 AM local time, closing at 9:30 AM, with the event itself expected to run until 11:30 AM.
The interview will be conducted by MSNBC's Chris Hayes and Recode's Kara Swisher. AppleInsider will be in attendance.

Comments
Apple has has already changed the world. They had the hat trick with the Apple series then Mac and iOS. When iOS is done Apple is done.
Bicker in PM.
Seem’s rather likely Apple changes the world again considering their history, and growing cash pile.
Microsoft had a cash pile didn't stop them from losing the pole position in profits and influence. Apple has indeed has changed the world but man have the missed the boat on a lot of things.
Education
They bought Powerschool, did nothing with it and sold it.
The iPads generated some buzz about education and then were subsequently overtaken in education by cheaper Chromebooks.
iBooks Author was supposed to revolutionize the "textbook problem" in education. Apple has largely abandoned it.
Applications
Mac software quality has struggled. Features announced at last years WWDC aren't available today
Mac App store - haven't seen an exodus this large since the Hebrew left Egypt. Apple's neglect hurt the benefits of the store for consumers.
Entertainment
iTunes has stagnated behind a lack of vision and a constantly changing UI that does not yield qualitative improvements.
Eddie Cue came in why hype and has done nothing but struck out at the plate in negotiations with Hollywood over skinny bundles and more.
The Apple TV is getting dominated by Roku, Firestick and Chromecast. In hindsight Apple electing to not make a HDTV set with built in ATV was
probably a gaffe. A tv with Roku and the Movies Anywhere app obviates the need for an ATV
Virtual Assistant
Amazon came in an ate Siri's lunch. Apple viewed Siri as incentive to purchase an iOS device when they should have extended the ecosystem. They got
tunnel visioned.
Of course Apple has and will change how people communicate and learn in fundamental ways. The kids who’ve grown up with iPhones just last Saturday showed up in the millions around the world to demonstrate against the culture of assault weapons.
Ok, iPhones and the imitators, but the communicator computer in your pocket, of which the iPad is the mother.
You guys need to stop grousing and grow some imagination.
