Everyone has become accustomed to the “throw-it-away” lifestyle. If an item is broken or does not seem to work anymore, we are quick to throw it out and buy a new one. However, many items can easily be fixed instead of buying new. Why not learn to repair?
Bring your broken and non-functioning things — electronic gadgets, appliances, computers, toys, sewing machines, bicycles, fabric items, etc. — for assessment, disassembly, and possibly repair. FixIt Coaches will be available for consultation on broken items; workspace, specialty tools, and guidance will be provided to help you troubleshoot your item. Offer your expertise as well and join in on the fun!
All ages are welcome and the event is open to the whole family.
Register your item to be sure to let the FixIt Team know what item you are bringing to come prepared, by clicking the link to complete the Google Form:
