Things to do in a Computer Club?

<p>Hi, I was thinking, what do you people think I could do base meetings for my school's computer club on? I mean, other than give lectures on new releases and that sort of stuff, what are some fun ideas you think I could do for the club's meetings? What would you want to see if you were a member of a computer and media club? Or what would you do if you were/are the president of one? All ideas are accepted, and thanks in advance for your help :)</p>

<p>Programming; make it a legit indie dev studio. Pick a platform like PC, android, iphone, xbox 360 and go through the game development process. Literally. Then publish the game.</p>

<p>Make a programming language.</p>

<p>Have everyone build their dream PC on Newegg, then have people present at a meeting and discuss why they chose each component.</p>

<p>Also, have an operating system debate, but don’t let it get too icky.</p>

<p>Program Hello World in all sorts of languages, then ask each member to code a sample application (ie: a tip calculator or something like that) in a different language.</p>

<p>Have people discuss favorite programs that perhaps others don’t know about, favorite websites, etc. </p>

<p>And of course, if things get boring, you can always have epic LAN battles on Halo or something.</p>

<p>I’ve wanted to start a computer science club at school for a while now, but I’m spread thin as it is. We’ll see, maybe next year.</p>

<p>Man, I really should make my club, the Programmers’ Club.</p>

<p>Get wasted and have a Starcraft 2 LAN party. Awww cheahhh…</p>
