Student tech clubs provide a way for students interested in technology to learn and share knowledge together. To start a student tech club, get support from your school, create a core team, and hold periodic meetings to develop strategies and plan presentations. Register your club online and get prepared by finding a facility and presenting on an interesting technology topic. Be efficient by using your website to register members and meetings. Follow recommendations for regular meetings at consistent times and locations with the necessary equipment and space for all participants. Engage members by posting on forums and blogs and inviting presenters from your university, Microsoft, and local MSPs and MVPs to share their expertise.
