X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>This 6 session series runs January through
  June 2027 (once a month on a Saturday). The series is designed to build o
 n itself--split into 3 topics with 2 sessions on electronics\, 2 sessions 
 on textiles/clothes\, and 2 sessions on everyday household item fixes. The
  first session in a pair will be more basic and the second will be more co
 mplex. <em>We highly encourage registration and participation each month\,
  but sessions can be attended based on participants' availability and inte
 rests too.</em>&nbsp\;If kids attend all 6 sessions\, they will receive a 
 certificate of completion for the program.&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>Through repair a
 nd upcycled design\, they explore STEM\, art\, and engineering thinking wh
 ile turning broken\, discarded\, or found objects into something new &mdas
 h\; and build a Repair Portfolio of everything they make.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p
