Types of Meetings

Discuss Your Regular Chapter Meetings. Poll the room on how often everyone feels they should meet, when, and where the best meeting spot would be. Alternatively, you can decide this beforehand with your chapter officers and sponsor. Explain the various types of activities that will happen at meetings

• General Days - SecondGen International encourages students to initiate their own project centered around their main point of interest. Some meetings are often spent letting students work on their own projects. SecondGen International can also provide support for a project and suggest projects.

• Guest Speakers - SecondGen offers students the opportunity to make connections across a wide variety of industries. Meetings centered around a guest speaker have often been some of the most exciting in SecondGen clubs, and are a great way for students to network and ask for advice from professionals specific to their interest field.

• Demo Days - DemoDays offers SecondGen chapter members the chance to demonstrate what projects they're working on. DemoDays offer a vital time for teams to check-in on their project progress, collect constructive criticism, see other team projects, and practice presenting their product before a SecondGen competition/convention.
