01 / OUR STORY

We wanted a fun, no‑pressure software engineering club…

…where we could build software for Hopkins.

That's when HopBuilds was born.

Hopkins is full of brilliant CS students — but not a lot of great software built for the Hopkins community. We're changing that: rebranding JHU's Software Engineering Club into a student product team that designs and ships tools making student life more connected and convenient.
