Program Description

Event Details

We have been all too accustomed to the throwaway lifestyle. If something doesn’t work, throw it out and buy a new one. Because of this behavior, our landfills are filling rapidly, and electronic waste has become one of the largest pollution generators. So why not learn how to fix it?!

Bring your broken, non-functioning things: electronics, appliances, computers, toys, bicycles, clothes, etc., for assessment, disassembly, and possible repair. We’ll provide workspace, specialty tools, and guidance to disassemble and troubleshoot your item. Whether we fix it or not, you’ll learn more about how it was manufactured and worked. This is a family-friendly event: children are heartily invited!

Do you like to repair things? Are you curious about getting more involved? Please email us at sdfixitclinic@gmail.com for more information.
