So next year I'm thinking of starting a physics club at my high school, but I need some ideas of what to do!

I already have things planned to enter a district competition, but I was thinking about having 1-3 year long projects.

Thanks!

Depends how often you want to meet up. One, twice, three times a week?
 
Possibly 2-3 times a week (probably just going to be a small group of nerds :D)if it's a big project. Regular meets would be once a week.
