<p>A friend of mine and I are thinking about starting a club targeted towards technology. I'm working on a "project proposal" to hand in (what else would I hand in?). I tried to make as professional looking as possible, as you'll see. Is there anything else I should put in? I already have about 10 members willing to join. </p>
<p>i'm in the process of starting Young Republicans at my school. although it's an expensive college prep school, there is an amazing amount of liberals. grr.</p>
<p>Started a debate club this year (had to get it passed by ASB last year), and I have to say, the whole process of creating the club was a huge dissapointment at my school. You get zero help/support on anything, no one in ASB understands what forensics really is - they were all thinking CSI. Of course, when we used debate, they usually lumped it together with philosophy club. The "Constitution" we wrote - which is basically the example you've shown - was never even looked at.</p>
<p>On top of that, it really doesn't help when the teachers at your school are completely apathetic to your case. We (I'm co-president/founder with another girl) asked 2 teachers to be advisors, and the more enthusiastic one was fired over the summer. Joy.</p>
<p>So now we're learning everything from scratch by ourselves. We haven't gotten very far, but we're trying. ;)</p>
<p>^ you'll get there. my school has a pretty reputable debate team [which i quit but oh well]
it took us a lot of hard work and effort to get there. you should consider having everyone go to a summer camp for debate like VBI. then you'll actually be taught by champs & judges at future tourneys.</p>
<p>Hmm. Maybe I should start a political party club at my school, it is probably the only club my school does not have(HRC to Dungeons and Dragons)</p>
<p>I was planning on starting either an Athiest, Agnostic, or Existentialism club to rival our school's bible club. I had support for it but I realized that it would be to much work and not accomplish anything.
I am currently planning on creating a debate team at my school and possibly using kids at other schools to create a league.</p>
<p>Egh. I'd love to start a Young Democrats or JSA chapter at my school, but clubs here have an enormous rate of failure. Even, Key Club, which I think is the largest at my school of ~1200 has about 10 members that regularly go to meetings.</p>
<p>started the Astronomy Club last year. We watched space movies, stargaze outside on clear weather and with school telescopes (and they are really good ones, too, big enough to see a lot of distant galaxies and nebulas). The school recently completed its planetarium so we will be using it as well. I'm planning a trip to Amherst to see its planetarium, which is quite old but the guy in charge of it is my friend's dad and very experienced in the field.</p>
<p>I'm not sure if Technocrate is supposed to be Technorati or Technocrat, but as a student of both Ancient Greek and Latin, I can say with some certainty technocrate doesn't mean anything. </p>
<p>And teksprt will widely be read as Tech Sport, not tek-expert, though thats just unfortunate, not a problem with the name itself. My school's Comp. Sci. club (of which I'm a member) is called NULL. Remember that clever names are usually better if they can be easily read, i.e. have vowels still intact.</p>
<p>Oh, and I started a Fencing Club and a Visual Media (Anime, Viedoegames, Film) club. But my school has a very simple mechanism for starting clubs and they're built into ours schedule, so I can't really help there.</p>
<p>Maybe use Technology Club for the formal name (to put on school forms, college apps, etc.) and then ask the club people to come up with an informal, clever name to use during meetings. Names like "teksprt" can and will be misinterpreted.</p>

<p>Good point, I didn't realize that. Thanks :)</p>
<p>I started the Communist Club.
We meet once every Thursday to discuss the history and current events of North Korea, Cuba and the USSR. We don't really talk about China, because it betrayed the communist ideals. We also had a debate with the Young Republicans Club, and we lost, but only because the judges were biased. But we knew the outcome from the beginning so there was no suprise. However, we do have a retaliation plan: the 2008 elections. I can't wait to see their faces.</p>
<p>one of my closest friends started a JSA chapter at our school.
but i'm secretary, and i helped her with the whole process.
we dont have many members, actually most of them are the people we hang out with, but that's because our first meeting was the day of a rally, and people just forgot.</p>
<p>are you all going to spring state?
[because you should, it's amazingly fun. you can come to the Harker minicon too. we usually have interesting stuff]</p>
<p>eh, we havent gone to fall state OR winter congress.
just cause for fall state, our vp was like "yeah wait till next semester when you're more 'established'", and for winter congress, we couldn't find a chaperone . </p>
<p>I started a Journalism Club with a focus on broadcast journalism this year. We had to write up a proposal and I could email it to you if you'd like. Just PM me.</p>
