On Feb'15 I got this idea to start a programming club for a middle school. I had always had a certain interest in programming and also enjoyed spreading this knowledge to others. When it came to pick a language, I decided to teach Scratch because it is both an exciting language to use and is easy to understand for younger children. Because of its visual programming, it appeals to the younger children more than other languages such as HTML or Java. To put the plan into action, I talked to my dad's friend's wife, Mrs. Verma, who was a director of certain schools. She kindly pointed me to Ms. Jordan, a teacher at ACE charter school. I decided to visit her after confirming a meeting via email. She readily approved the plan. She was a real help and told me that everything I needed to teach the class (computer, projecter, etc.) would be provided. She even volunteered to mentor the club (every school club needed a mentor) and give any necessary assistance. After this, I invited my friend Rishi to help out in conducting the club, because the more the merrier, right? We will meet Ms. Jordan again and finally started our planning for the club.
