Roughly, we anticipate that clubs have the following elements:
* ==='''Series of activities.''' A collection of activities to learn about the web. It includes instructions for the mentors on how to faciliate the activities and materials for learners. There may be ways to recognize learning and participation in these activities. ===
** A collection of activities to learn about the web. It includes instructions for the mentors on how to faciliate the activities and materials for learners. There may be ways to recognize learning and participation in these activities.  '''Hypothesis: ''' Our theory is that activities should be '''modular and remixable,''' so mentors can easily modify them for their needs. Yet they should also be '''simple to use''' so that mentors feel confident. We also think learners do best when they are '''making something together''' while also '''taking control of their own learning.'''
* === '''Lightweight community participation.''' ===  Simple processes for connecting with other clubs & mentors. The goal is to celebrate what's happening and to help people learn from one another. Could be things like a shared hashtag and a discussion forum.  '''Hypothesis:''' To be successful with this initiative, we need simple ways for people to share what they're doing in their club and to reflect. This will help us respond to real mentors as well as help mentors help each other. Good social interactions encourage people to stay engaged longer.

* '''Local activity globally networked.''' A way for clubs to express their own local flavor, to be locally relevant and to innovate based on local needs. And whatever the local instance looks like, there should be something that unites it globally with other clubs. Things like design elements, webpages or physical gear could be ways to show local and global connections.
** Hyopthesis'''Hypothesis: ''' There are ways to be local beyond simply "geography." Clubs could adapt to audiences and spaces (e.g. adults in a library or young people in an afterschool program), by language (e.g. Bengali or English as Second Language), by partner network (e.g. ThinkBig or CoderDojo). We think clubs will be most successful when mentors & learners can make them their own. Yet there is some shared DNA that connects all clubs.
