Computer Club - Yay or Nay?

I am suggesting to our school that we open up a computer club, for both people do GCSE computing science or A-Level Computing and those who don't to just hang around and do computer stuff.

We want to do stuff that is not too hard, that you could get some sort of progress on in half an hour, that is fun and able for all computer enthusiasts to enjoy, regardless of their level of computer expertise. I am not against projects, but I would like to do some things where if anyone joins the club randomly at any point they don't feel left out because everyone else is halfway through something that they don't understand.

I am also not the biggest computer geek in the world (I can't do loads of coding off of the top of my head, but I am learning), so I was wondering if I should get someone else with more computer knowledge to run it.

What do you suggest? Would you join a Computer Club?
Hi there,

While you're waiting for an answer, did you know we have 300,000 study resources that could answer your question in TSR's Learn together section?

We have everything from Teacher Marked Essays to Mindmaps and Quizzes to help you with your work. Take a look around.

If you're stuck on how to get started, try creating some resources. It's free to do and can help breakdown tough topics into manageable chunks. Get creating now.

Thanks!

Not sure what all of this is about? Head here to find out more.

Hope I'm not too late..

Personally yes, and it is a logical choice. It would enable students to give study tips to other students and so on.. Furthermore don't let your knowledge of computing itself be a justification as to whether you should run it or not.

Also perhaps you should try http://www.codecademy.com/
