Fixit Clinics are free workshops where people bring broken stuff—from bikes to blenders to blazers—and volunteer coaches share their tools and know-how to help troubleshoot and (hopefully) repair items. These meet-ups build hands-on skills, confidence, community, and a culture of reuse and repair. This special event will be geared toward youth!

WHAT SHOULD I BRING?

• A broken gadget, small appliance, computer, toy, textile good, or other item

• Useful tools and parts, if you have them

• A description of what’s wrong and anything you’ve tried to fix it—advance online research is helpful

• A desire to learn and share your knowledge!
