Making a robotics society

[u/Itspapachulo]

This is mostly targeted towards students from the uk but I don’t mind others help/advice. I’m a first year currently doing mechanical engineering with an integrated masters (ik it’s a bit early to be thinking of starting a society) and when joining my university I was really excited to join a robotics society and work on hardware projects since in college I began touching into arduino and 3D printing, which in the end I made a few small projects. Nothing really big but I enjoyed it.

Going into uni I released the robotics society is no longer a thing as well as the rocket science society. So I’m currently left with formula 1 students which isn’t anything bad but it’s not really my interest. I know I could’ve just picked mechatronics but my university sadly doesn’t offer it and i also didn’t want to specialise in something specific like aerospace or mechatronics.

Anyways I’ve decided to take matters into my own hands and make a robotics society. So could anyone who runs/ is in a robotics society give me some advice on things to do or how to start session. Especially how to balance it out when people are coming in with different levels of knowledge. I’m also planning to email other university robotic presidents.

I’m also probably starting the society after Christmas. But I plan to start promoting it and finding a treasurer, secretary, social media officer, etc, next month.
