Do you have a household item in need of repair? Come fix it for FREE at our Fix It Clinic, where we will provide the space, tools, and expert coaches to help you troubleshoot and repair your item.
Please note that you will need to register for the event using the LA Fixit Clinic website, just clink this link to navigate to their website. If registration is full, you are more than welcome to still come in and wait, with the understanding that items may not be looked at/fixed.
We often throw away things that stop working and buy new ones instead of fixing them. This creates a big problem for our environment because our landfills are filling up too quickly, and electronic waste is a significant source of pollution.
To help address this issue, we encourage you to learn how to fix things instead of throwing them away. Whether it's electronics, appliances, computers, toys, bicycles, clothes, or other items, bring them to us for assessment, disassembly, and possible repair. We'll provide you with a workspace, specialty tools, and guidance to help you take things apart and identify problems. Even if we cannot fix your item, you'll learn more about how it works and how it was made.
This is a family-friendly event, and we welcome children of all ages to come and learn with us.
We hope to see you there!
