Clubbin'

I'm currently a part of 4 learning adventure clubs:

I mentioned Learning Adventure Clubs while talking about the most recent one I've joined. But there are three more I'm currently a part of.

The most low-key one is reading Tiago Forte's Just-in-Time Project Management series:

Roam as the tool/medium for the book club is brilliant but will require a separate post to describe. (Even then, it's easier to show than tell.)

Another one is an egghead Course Club, where current and would-be egghead instructors learn how to create a high-quality course.

The final one is one I'm facilitating. I started working with our most talented Minecraft U camper after summer camps ended last year. Every weekend we work on ComputerCraft, or Python, or general web development. Joining us is one of my most senior instructors (who's also a senior in high school). I eventually coined it "Computer Adventures" (I just love the "adventure" moniker). It's super fulfilling work for me. Last week I bought them both mechanical keyboards (nothing fancy--the Keychron C1) and it was the most fun I've had gift-giving in a while. By June, I need to parlay Computer Adventures into a camp we can deliver over the summer. So far it's been entirely improvisational so I'm dreading actually codifying the curriculum. 

All are really fun and fulfilling for different reasons, but the end result is I'm becoming evangelically pro-learning-club, and over-extending myself a little. 😅
