How many members should my STEM club have?
A suggested number is somewhere between 12 and 25 members. You will find a number that works for you and there is no prescribed model. Factors such as school demographics, club philosophy and aims will affect your capacity.
Some schools have found that a high profile launch brings in lots of members. The club fills up too quickly. In these cases, a waiting list of prospective members can be created. You can then bring in these interested members once there is capacity to do so.
An active and healthy waiting list is also a good monitoring tool. A full list will correspond to a popular club.
If the waiting list starts to dwindle, then this can be a really good indicator that perhaps you need to change your approach or choice of activity.
