Founded in 2008, Guerilla Science is on a mission is to revolutionise how people connect with science through transformative experiences. We believe in a world in which everyone feels that science belongs to them and where science is celebrated as an intrinsic part of human culture.
Our ethos of practicing ‘science by stealth’ has enabled us to stretch traditional boundaries of how people engage with science, inspiring them to examine the everyday and the spectacular with an alternative perspective.
Guerilla Science has directly reached over 100,000 adults across the UK and US via our live events. We have a strong media profile with an accumulative reach of over 10 million people through coverage including The New Yorker, VICE and the BBC.
