<p>While we strongly encourage participants in the society to <a href="https://su.sheffield.ac.uk/activities/view/ethical-student-hackers-society" target="_blank">buy a membership</a>, it's important that interested individuals have the opportunity to trial a session before joining. To that end, we offer one free session a year to non-members.</p>

<p>Our regular sessions are hosted in person and streamed on Blackboard Collaborate, every Monday at 18:00 - 19:30 (ish). Members will be given access to our Blackboard Collaborate Organisation, from which they can view all sessions and recordings.</p>

<p>For step by step instructions on accessing our sessions and recordings, <a href="/sessions/access">click here.</a></p>

<p>Please bring a laptop to all sessions unless said otherwise. If you are not able to, please speak to someone on the committee.</p>
