fix w/ frogs (april)
Join us on 4/1 for the first of a recurring event: fix w/ frogs!
What is a repair clinic? (aka Fix Clinic, Repair Cafe, etc)
This is a free, community-powered event designed to promote critical thinking, sustainability, and a sense of empowerment through the art of repair.
Ultimately the goal is to empower all participants to take repair into their own hands (literally). At an ideal event everybody's helping everybody else out.
This event is created with the help of the broader FixIt Clinic network - check it out here.
How does it work?
Bring something that need’s fixing or mending! Items can include:
Small appliances
Electronics
Hardware
Home goods
Clothing and other soft goods
Our volunteer coaches will provide space, help, tools, and emotional support to help with assessment, disassembly, and repair, when possible. If you know what you are bringing, please fill out this form so we can best prepare: https://bit.ly/itemcheckin
If you don't have something to fix, you can still join to learn.
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 buildind a more sustainable future and keeping wealth in our communities. Listen here to learn more.
