Given the evolving COVID-19 situation and guidelines, we have decided to experiment with a virtual Repair Café format as we transition back to events.

Please register by Thursday, September 30th as attending with an item that needs repairing, attending as an observer, or attending as a repair fixer. Registering with an item for repair, will prompt you to share details and photos of up to two items that needs repair and share any other details that would support your participation. Registration does not guarantee you will receive a repair ticket.

Our team will review your registration information to determine whether the item and potential issue is feasible to repair and resolve through a guided repair in this virtual format. These items will receive a repair ticket for the event. If your item does not receive a repair ticket, you will be invited to join us as an observer.

Here’s what you can expect during the virtual Repair Café: Fixers will be separated into Zoom breakout rooms by repair categories including electronics, clothing, jewelry. Attendees with items for repair, will join the appropriate breakout room assigned in their repair ticket. Observers may join whichever room they are interested in observing. The fixers talk community members through these pre-selected repairs. Fixers may choose to draw diagrams, conduct demonstrations, show brief videos, etc.

Please note that some elements of this format may evolve as we learn more about what you would like repaired!

Looking for Fixer Volunteers

We love our fixers! And we could not have these events without them. Do you like to fix stuff? We would gladly have you — if you want to learn more about what it takes to be a fixer, email Udara AT Envirocenter.org

In the meantime, check out this blog about one of our fixers, Mike De La Mater.
