A Coding Club

[cjl2625]

I too have started a coding club at my school this year. Our goal is to make software and apps, which will be worked on as a team using Git, and then we will publish them.
On our team, it's kind of a prerequisite that you know some Java I'm order to be of help with the code. I don't suspect that we'll be teaching the basics of java, but we'll talk about the more advanced aspects of software development, like for android apps.
However, we're having some trouble convincing the school to let us publish the software... I dont fully understand their reasoning, but I think they're afraid of offensive content and such that could poorly reflect on the school. Quite absurd in my opinion.

Anyway, icebreakers.... I can't really help you with that; we didn't do any such thing at the first meeting. We just went through an introductory presentation about the team, collected information about the new members (8 total including myself), and then went right to brainstorming ideas for our first simple project. Took about an hour overall.
