Welcome to Hoppers!

Edinburgh Hoppers is the official society for women, non-binary and transgender people in the School of Informatics of the University of Edinburgh.

What we do

Hoppers is the Gender Diversity in Informatics Society at the University of Edinburgh. Named after famous female computer scientist Grace Hopper, we provide an inclusive space for gender minorities to make friends, have fun, and learn. All members of gender minorities who study informatics are members automatically, but we welcome everyone, regardless of gender or degree!

You can get a free membership on the EUSA website!

Our events

We organize lots of events to support gender minorities at the University of Edinburgh. Our events aim to create an inclusive community, whether we're learning, coding, doing arts and crafts, or we're at the pub!

Our team

Our committee is comprised of a diverse group of students from the School of Informatics; however, students from other Schools of the University of Edinburgh, studying joint informatics or pure non-informatics degree, are also welcome to join us on-board! We are always looking for passionate people with any kind of skills to join our team and help grow our community.
