It's much like an astronomy club without a star or planet. You study the theory and hope to see the practice one day.
My junior high (in Finland) had some programming lessons included in the mathematics classes in circa 1981. Fragments of ALGOL and such. Got the first computers in 1982.
(They were Swedish ABC-80's; Z80, 16 K RAM, black and white displays with block graphics, one machine equipped with a disk drive, others with a "local area network" implemented with the cassette tape interface which was transmitting and receiving an FSK signal at something like 300 bits per second so you could transfer programs between the units. Far more advanced than paper punch tape, which I only learned to use with a telex & encryption machine in the army...)
