I started a similar group this semester at UMass Lowell called Maker Club. However, instead of just coding we work on hacks and crafts of all kinds. In the month since our first meeting we've done a variety of things like making catapults/trebuchets out of popsicle sticks and rubber bands, made giant bubbles, and played Portal using the kinect. The semester is winding down, but I'm planning on having some hack nights next semester, both general and themed. On general hack nights the club will provide the food and caffeine as long as people are working on something. On themed hack nights everything we make will involve a certain theme. Also, if there's a student or professor who wants to show how to do something like knitting or creating a web page we'll provide them with the supplies they need, take care of the paperwork, and promote it. All they'll need to do is show up. That's one of a few things I have planned for next year, and I'm going to be planning more over the summer.
