How does your student club cope with newbies?

Julia Lerman, who is a big contributor to INETA and to the Vermont .NET User Group, is wondering how her group’s meetings can stay interesting to both beginner and advanced developers.

Student user groups and clubs must deal with this all the time, as new students come in every year. Does anyone have any good examples of how you keep things interesting for all skill levels? Mix up the meetings – beginners presentation one week, advanced the next, or something different perhaps?

I'm Microsoft Student Partner at the university of Paderborn (Germany). I just founded a .NET user group, we'll have our first meeting next week.

I was also thinking about that problem, as I plan the user group to adress not only university students but also professionel developers. My idea so far is that we'll have 2 presentations at each meeting, the first targeting the beginners, and the second presentation for the more advanced developers. I don't know if this will work... we'll see :)
