  • What can be fixed? This depends on the skill set of our volunteers. Our current volunteer Fixers are great wi th electrical (lamps\, wiring\, etc.) \;We do not fix electronics (cel l phones\, laptops\, etc.). Tell us a bit about your item when you registe r\, we will follow up with you if we need more information or to suggest a ny parts you might need to bring.

  • This is a learning opportunity for all involved. \;This is not a drop-off event. We encourage visito rs to sit with the Fixer\, learn about what they're doing\, and lend a han d. It's about figuring it out\, together.
