Club Idea that needs some work

The People Watchers Club is an existing club at Yale University, and is actually an extension of Statistics, Psychology, and those kind of classes there. All the club does is watch people in different locations and make observations about their behavior. For example, a People Watchers Club field trip may consist of going to the Mall of American and observing how people behave there.

If things start to get experimental and risky, some of the club members may decide to apply stimuli to certain scenarios. While people are occupied with cluttering up a certain section of the mall, some club members may convince two or three people to go around, and see if any ripple effects take place. Another idea might be to take a field trip to a busy city and have some of the members play ultimate frisbee, or something of the like. As more and more members start off playing each progressive session, one might observe how the rest of the park-goers may react, join or avoid the game.

When I first heard about the People Watchers Club at Yale, I thought it was an amazing idea. I always enjoyed watching people do things, see what everybody tends to do or not do, usually in a comical sense; I had in mind more of a massive improvisational comedy group rather than an actual educational activity, but it can still be used both ways. For example, what if you had one hundred people all scattered through a section of the mall, and NONE OF THEM MOVED for about three or four minutes. What would people do? Think??

The main problems with this club getting started are a) we don't have a sponsor, b) we don't have a formalized goal, proposal or anything, and c) If we were to go on field trips, we also have no sponsorships/funds to make that possible. Once we get some of these situations resolved (at least the first two), we can actually make the People Watchers Club of Apollo High School a reality.
