Science Hack Day is a hack day specifically for "making weird, silly or serious things with science".[1] The first was organized by Jeremy Keith and held at the London offices of The Guardian newspaper[2] over the weekend 19/20 June 2010.[3][4]
The event was attended by around 100 participants[5] who had 24 hours to build new hacks. Many stayed overnight at the venue and over 25 hacks were built, submitted and demo'ed by the end of the weekend.[6]
Soon thereafter a second Science Hack Day was organized by Ariel Waldman in San Francisco, and several years since, often filling up with a waitlist.[7][8] Since that first year, more than 50 Science Hack Day events have taken place around the world,[1] including a recent 2020 March Science Hack Day Dublin.[9]
The events are attended by a diverse range of science enthusiasts.
