What is Science Hack Day Dublin?OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

A Science Hack Day is all-day-all-night event that brings together inquisitive and creative minds to one place, to make wonderful things. Designers, developers, engineers, scientists and artists proudly bring their A-game to the same physical space for a brief but intense period of collaboration, making, hacking, and building of ‘cool stuff’. By collaborating on focused tasks during this short period, small groups of makers are capable of producing remarkable results.

Audience Profile

Science Hack Day Dublin is attended by 150 of the brightest and most creative people Ireland has to offer. Coming from all backgrounds they don’t just talk the talk at Science Hack Day they roll up their sleeves and get their hands dirty. They are the people who are driven to go that little bit further to make great things and we love them

Diversity

Above all Science Hack Day is a Hackathon for everyone. We strive to create a welcoming and social event where people working together and sharing their skills  just makes sense. We want Science Hack Day to include people of all races, all genders, all level of experience, all religious beliefs, and all sexual orientations. We believe a good hackathon should reflect the society it takes place in, by excluding anyone it is the event that suffers.  In effort to level the playing field we offer childcare and travel bursaries to those it will help.
