Fix-It & Learn: Community Tech Repair Workshop

5:30 PM - 7:30 PM
Shoreline Tool Library
Join us for a hands-on, beginner-friendly workshop led by local repair expert Fikralem, founder of Techs Repair LLC and recipient of Washington’s Green Jobs Community Grant. This two-hour workshop is designed to empower participants with the confidence and skills to troubleshoot, maintain, and extend the life of common electronic devices—while also learning how small actions contribute to big environmental impacts. Feel free to bring your own electronic devices that are in need of repair. This workshop occurs on the second and fourth Wednesdays of each month from 5:30-7:30pm at the Shoreline Tool Library. Whether you’re curious about how to open up your old laptop, want to understand why your phone won’t hold a charge, or just want to reduce e-waste and save money, this class is for you. Participants are welcome to bring their own broken electronics (phones, tablets, laptops, etc.) for inspection or hands-on learning, but it’s not required.
