Fixit Clinic at Castro Valley Library

Fixit Clinic CXCIV (194) Castro Valley Library

Back by popular demand! Our previous events at the Castro Valley Library have been big hits: we look forward to seeing you at this Fixit Clinic!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Celebrating repair through do-it-together hands-on STEM-oriented fix-n-learn community-based discovery and disassembly: bring your broken, non-functioning things -- electronics, appliances, computers, toys, sewing machines, 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.

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.
