Hi Fixit Coaches:

We’ve got a Fixit Clinic Sat June 17 at Castro Valley Library: can you coach? Sign up here: http://goo.gl/xS1MRK

This is our sixth(!) Fixit Clinic at the Castro Valley Library; we’re graciously hosted by Jessica Connolly of Castro Valley Sanitary District <jes...@cvsan.org> and Chris Selig, Librarian at Castro Valley Library <CSe...@aclibrary.org> (Thank you Jessica and Chris!)

And see the text description below.

So far the coaches signed up are:
Anna So (new: welcome!)
Charles Glorioso
Peter Mui (me)
Roy Henrichs
Ruth Grace Wong
Sandra Stewart

Anyone else wanna join in on the fun? Please sign up on the coach's sign in form, indicate whether you can offer carpooling or need a carpool (it’s easy walking distance from Castro Valley BART if that’s a consideration): http://goo.gl/xS1MRK

Hope you can make it, -Peter

Fixit Clinic CCXVII (217) Castro Valley Library
 
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 staffed by volunteer Fixit Coaches who generously share their time, tools and (modest) expertise to consult with you on the disassembly, troubleshooting, and repair of your item.
 
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 workspace, specialty tools, and guidance to help you disassemble and troubleshoot 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.
 
New Fixit Coaches are always welcome; sign up at http://goo.gl/kwVNlv
