First thing I would do is find out who is coming, what they know already or what projects they are working on or what they would like to do. I agree there are a lot of useful resources out there but once you get started perhaps you can then agree on a shared system, if some already use github (or similar) then let them carry on with that. http://kata.coderdojo.com/wiki/Home_Page Which links from : https://coderdojo.com/resources/ Has lots of resources. You can also go here, to upload resources or I am guessing share links to resources.
