About Hacks
A hack is a quick solution to a problem – maybe not the most elegant solution, but often the cleverest. Hacks can be either software or hardware (or a mix) and aim to bring to life to interesting science. For example, these are some of the hacks created at the Science Hack Day in Eindhoven in 2012: how to generate energy from a tornado, how to use brain scanning bio-feedback and algorithms to bring recommendations and user data into the user’s hands and applying it in the real world and an internet connected skatepark.

A Science Hack Day creates a community that develops, designs and prototypes solutions for the world of tomorrow. Hack Days were originally created by Yahoo! in 2005 and soon after became a worldwide trend. By collaborating on focused tasks during this short period, small groups of hackers are capable of producing remarkable results. We are expecting 80-100 participants, who work in teams of 2-6 individuals.

Science Hack Day Eindhoven is made possible by our partners: Fontys University, Brainport, City of Eindhoven, Technical University Eindhoven, Design Academy, CityTV, Mindhoven, Red Bluejay, Techniek-makelaar, Open Eindhoven and many others.
