FIXIT CLINIC: All-ages do-it-together hands-on STEM-oriented fix-n-learn community-based discovery, disassembly, and repair: bring your broken, non-functioning things -- electronics, appliances, computers, toys, bicycles, (sewing machines and clothes - see below) 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.
SWAP ‘N SEW: Bring your clean and washed, usable, but no longer wanted used clothes to swap for some "new to you" clothes. Bring fabric items you want to mend, your sewing machine (we will have one available if you don’t have one), and any sewing notions you need or want to donate (thread, buttons, patches, pins, etc.) We’ll help you repair your favorite fabric items, help reacquaint you with your sewing machine, and help you repair your non-working sewing machine.
