Code Club
summary
Code Club prescribes concrete rules: pick 100 lines of code or a completable activity, meet as a team of about five with a consistent tour guide, and expect iteration — organizers run 50+ code club sessions and weekly drop‑in projects (Ruby Monday JavaScript Tuesday Python Thursday). Sessions produce real artifacts (a Ruby Monday blog app launched), force code reviews and pull requests, handle broken tutorials, and measurably boost confidence and practical collaboration skills.
