(and see the text announcement at the bottom)

This is our first Fixit Clinic on the SF Peninsula in many years and we’ll have a bunch of new Peninsula-based coaches, so it’d be great to have lots of veteran Fixit Coaches on hand to show them the ropes. I realize that San Mateo may be a considerable driving distance for some of you, I’m happy to reimburse for gas and tolls if that’s a consideration. (San Mateo County Center also a short walk from the Redwood City Caltrain Station (connect with BART at Millbrae): https://www.google.com/maps/dir/Redwood+City+Station,+Redwood+City,+CA/455+County+Center+%23101,+Redwood+City,+CA+94063/@37.4873483,-122.2335726,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m14!4m13!1m5!1m1!1s0x808fa24d54273973:0xaa4c77f55dc4bbea!2m2!1d-122.2317188!2d37.4858315!1m5!1m1!1s0x808fa252707092db:0x2667d5de61cac845!2m2!1d-122.2307758!2d37.4888652!3e2 )

==========================
Fixit Clinic CCXXXVI (236) San Mateo County Center

Celebrating repair by conveying basic troubleshooting skills, Fixit Clinics are do-it-together hands-on STEM-oriented fix-n-learn community-based exploration and discovery workshops where neighbors, friends, and families work collectively to learn about and repair their broken items.

So bring your broken, non-functioning things -- electronics, appliances, computers, toys, sewing machines, bicycles, fabric items, etc.-- for assessment, disassembly, and possible repair. We'll provide 1) workspace 2) specialty tools and 3) volunteer Fixit Coaches to consult with you on the disassembly and troubleshooting of your item. 

Whether you fix it or not, you'll learn more about how it was manufactured and how it worked, ready to share your new-found confidence and insight with your friends, neighbors, and the community at large. (Hopefully you’ll be inspired to become a Fixit Coach yourself.)
