Managing A SecondGen Club
Managing SecondGen clubs will be very diffrent from your club as you have your own guidlines and goals as a club. To run a SecondGen club, checkout our SecondGen Chapter Guide
There are a multitude of different formats SecondGen clubs follow:
Curriculum Days: SecondGen Global has set curriculum guides for meetings that will be available online and sent out to chapters periodically. Curriculum guides cover a wide range of topics from entrepreneurial skills, the basics of coding, tips and tricks on producing your own music, etc.
Work Days: SecondGen Global encourages students to initiate their own projects centered around their main point of interest. Some meetings are often spent letting students work on their own projects. SecondGen Global can also provide support for a project and suggest projects.
DemoDays: DemoDays offers SecondGen chapter members the chance to demonstrate what projects they have been working on. DemoDays offer a vital opportunity 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.
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 activities in SecondGen clubs, and are a great way for students to network and ask for advice from professionals in their specific interest fields.
