Learn how to not be so afraid of fixing. We'll open stuff up, use tools (we'll have those on hand), and see what's inside.

Volunteers can (try to) help you fix all kinds of stuff, such as

• simple bike repairs
• small sewing tasks (buttons, hems, holes)
• some jewelry repairs (no soldering)
• gluing and clamping wooden items
• small appliances, such as lamps and toasters
• some simple electronics (we can try! things with circuit boards are tough, but VCRs, maybe...?)

Working together, we may not be able to fix everything, but we can try, and along the way we will all learn together!

More about Fixit Clinics: 

Building resilient communities through conveying basic troubleshooting skills and celebrating repair, Fixit Clinics are do-it-together hands-on fix-n-learn community-based exploration and discovery workshops staffed by volunteer Fixit Coaches who generously share their time, tools and expertise to consult with you on the disassembly, troubleshooting, and repair of items.

So bring your broken, non-functioning things -- electronic gadgets, appliances, computers, toys, sewing machines, bicycles, fabric items, etc.-- for assessment, disassembly, and possible repair. Fixit Coaches (and helpful neighbors) will be available for consultation on broken items: we'll provide workspace, specialty tools, and guidance to help you disassemble and troubleshoot your item. Whether you fix it or not, you'll learn more about how it was manufactured and how it worked, ready to share your new-found confidence and insight with your friends, neighbors, and the community at large. (Hopefully you’ll be inspired to become a Fixit Coach yourself.)
