What is the study club?
StudyClub++ is a global study community of 2000+ engineers across the US, Canada, and Korea. It's a pool of study groups — anyone can propose and run a study on a topic they want to learn. Every study and event runs on Discord.
What's a Captain?
Captains are StudyClub++'s volunteer organizers. They handle the initial setup for a study — recruiting, spinning up the Discord channel, and running the kickoff — so members can focus on studying.
