Come along to a Meetup to find out how we work and meet other members of our friendly mentor community. If you're UK based, join our Slack to get support from Design Club HQ and other experienced mentors.
Contact a school to get things lined up for the start of term. Ask if you can speak to the person responsible for after school clubs.
Speak with your contact at the school to find a suitable day and classroom to run your club each week. Agree a start date.
If you don't have a DBS certificate already, check if the school or your workplace can arrange one. You can also get a free DBS if you become a STEM Ambassador.

We recommend you contact a school you have a relationship with. Local to home or work is good, too.
It depends on the age of the group and your experience. Generally, we recommend 8-12 children.
You need a teacher or teaching assistant to be present. Mainly to help with classroom management.
Projects for kids to work through. And one mobile phone or tablet for every 2 or 3 children, with Marvel App installed.
Roughly two hours a week for 10 weeks. That's an hour to run the club and an hour of prep.
Ideally you'll have some experience of working with design thinking methods and/ or working with children.
We provide email templates and a short slide deck you can either send via email or present in person to staff.
We have a poster and flyer the school can print out. Some schools run club fairs or you can give a talk at assembly.
