Repair Cafe

August 30, 2024

Contributed by: Bani Rafeh

At Thode Makerspace’s Repair Café events, participants bring in items that are broken or in need of repair. Volunteers with expertise in various repair areas such as electronics, sewing, woodworking, or general tinkering are available to help assess, troubleshoot, and ideally fix these items. Our primary goals are to extend the lifespan of goods, reduce waste, promote a culture of repair and sustainability and to share and learn from one another. This is a great opportunity to connect as a Maker/DIY community all while enjoying some snacks and hot beverages!

Categories of items we’ve been able to fix include: clothing, jewelry, small furniture, bicycles, small appliances, computers, other electronics.
