Yash, you may want to look into
hackEDU. I'm working on a similar club at my school. If you shoot an email over to Zach Latta, he may be able to help you in terms of funding and gathering resources from organizations and companies.
As far as material for a first meeting goes, I think a lot of people don't initially recognize the "wow" factor in coding. If you bring in a speaker from a tech company or show members unique things you can do with code, that might be a useful tool for engagement. For example, at one hackathon, an event organizer asked us all to visit a website; he then proceeded to conduct an orchestra (on all our individual laptops) from his phone.
