BornHack (a portmanteau of "Bornholm" and "hack") is an annual hacker camp on the Danish island of Funen, near Gelsted. From 2016 to 2018, it was organized on Bornholm.[2][3][4][5][6]

History

In 2021, the BornHack electronic badge was based on a perfboard due to the chip shortage.[7] The 2021 camp was also captured in Google Maps' aerial pictures.[8]

In 2022, Thomas Flummer developed a badge based on the RP2040, for which software can be developed in CircuitPython.[9]

During BornHack there is a field specifically designed for loud noise, with a noise barrier made from soil. A Dutch hacker brought an old civil defense siren for testing purposes. Within a few minutes, four separate phone calls were made to the Danish police from houses located a large distance from BornHack.[10]
