INTERESTED IN BEING A FIXIT COACH? IT’S EASY!

FIXIT COACHES PROVIDE PARTICIPANTS WITH:

  • guidance on tools
  • encouragement to investigate their broken item.

TIPS FOR FIXIT COACHES:

  • Let them talk about how they used it and how it broke. That often provides valuable hints as to what’s wrong.
  • See how much you can do without actually handling the item. Empower the item’s owner to do the troubleshooting and disassembly.
  • Register to be a coach here.

For more info about the Fixit Clinic, contact Shova Ale Magar at [email protected] for more details. or (650) 363-1973.
