Fixit Clinic: Boston University
Explore troubleshooting and repair with volunteer Fixit coaches.
Fixit Clinics are free workshops where people bring broken stuff—from bikes to blenders to blazers—and volunteer Fixit Coaches share their time, tools, and know-how to help troubleshoot and (hopefully) repair items. These meet-ups build hands-on skills, confidence, community, and a culture of reuse and repair. The City of Boston Environment Department is partnering with Boston University's Office of Sustainability to host one of these events at the BU Center for Computing and Data Science (the Jenga building), room 164.
