Fixit Clinic: San Francisco

Fix your broken stuff -- Or at least learn more about it disassembling it.

An All-Ages Do-it-Together hands-on STEM-oriented fix-n-learn community repair event: bring your broken, non-functioning things -- electronics, appliances, computers, toys, bicycles, clothes, etc.-- for assessment, disassembly, and possible repair. We'll provide workspace, specialty tools, and guidance to help you disassemble and troubleshoot your item. Whether we fix it or not, you'll learn more about how it was manufactured and how it worked. This is a family-friendly event: accompanied children are heartily invited! (BONUS: we'll have bicycle repair coaches and tools on hand as well.)

Typically, 70% of the items brought in to Fixit Clinics are fixed. It's fun to take apart stuff, see how it worked, and fix it. Fixit Clinic demystifies technology and science so that we can ultimately make better policy choices as a society.
