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 (web developer) 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]

Since that first event, more than 50 Science Hack Day events have taken place around the world.[1]

The events are attended by a diverse range of science enthusiasts.
