fix w/ frogs (sept)

​Join us on September 10 for the next installment of fix w/ frogs!

​A community-powered event promoting critical thinking, sustainability, and resilience through the noble art of repairing; ultimately the goal is to empower everyone to take repair into their own hands (literally) while helping others.

​How does it work?

​Bring your repair project: something that needs fixing or mending! Items can include:

• ​Small appliances

• ​Electronics

• ​Hardware

• ​Home goods

• ​Clothing and other fabric and textile items

​(Carry-in only, no oversize items please.)

​Volunteer coaches will be on hand with advice, tools and emotional support to help you with assessment, troubleshooting, disassembly, and repair. Drop-ins are most welcome but please help us by pre-registering your item at https://bit.ly/itemcheckin

​If you don't have something to fix you can still join to observe, learn, and, hopefully, coach others. Sign up to coach here: https://bit.ly/inpersoncoachsignup

​This event is created with the help of the broader FixIt Clinic network - check it out here.

​Who is this for?

​Anyone interested in exploring the art of repair and/or is looking for support in repairing an item!

​Who is frog? 🐸

​This event is hosted by frog, a design innovation firm with a long history of designing and building innovative products. Volunteer coaches will include engineers and designers both from frog and our sister company, Synapse.

​Wait, why is repair important?

​In a circular economy, we want goods and materials to stay in circulation at high value for as long as possible. Repair is a key part of this, and therefore a key part of building a more sustainable future and keeping wealth in our communities. Listen here to learn more.
