Souhegan’s Clubs

September 22, 2016
With last week’s Club Day still fresh on our minds, here’s a list of some of the great clubs and teams this school has to offer.
Programming Club
When: Monday afternoons from 2:30 – 3:30
Where: A103
Coding club is a place where you can learn to program. Currently, it is focused on learning Python, as well as participating in the Hour of Code and getting middle school students involved in computer science. There is also a game design element, as many members are game developers or are interested in game dev. If you enjoy programming, want to learn programming, or are interested in other elements of game design (writing, art, music, ect.), you should join programming club!
Contact Katherine McCann kthrnmccann@gmail.com for more information.
Model UN
When: Tuesdays
Where: A115
Once we register for a conference we will be told by the conference organizers what countries we represent and what the topic of the conference will be. Then as a group we will decide who in our club will represent each country assigned to us. After that it’s all about preparing – reading and research mostly. At the conference there will be students from multiple schools all representing different countries. Using the standard UN meeting rules (which we practice), everyone attempts to come up with resolutions to solve the problem related to the topic of the conference, all while using research and acting like the country really would based on their actual, real-world wants, needs, and challenges. To be involved in Model UN you need to speak in public, research, and have an interest in world affairs. And most important: it’s way more fun than it sounds!

Souhegan Ocean Bowl
When: TBD, usually one day a week after school from 2:30-3:00
Where: In the annex, room 217 (Julianne’s Room)
Our team prepares for the annual Ocean Bowl competition. The Ocean Bowl is a regional competition that takes place the first weekend in February. Students from around New England compete in a buzzer-style face off, demonstrating their knowledge of marine sciences. If you love learning about the ocean, this is a great opportunity to learn more and meet people who share your passion!
