Repair Café

Have something broken, damaged, or not working quite right? Don’t throw it out just yet! Bring your item to the Thode Makerspace Repair Café, where our volunteer repair team will help you troubleshoot, repair, and learn more about your broken belongings. From clothing and backpacks to small appliances, electronics, furniture, bicycles, and more, we’ll see what we can do to give your item a second life.

Repair Café is a great opportunity to learn repair skills, meet fellow makers, and keep useful items in circulation instead of sending them to the landfill. You’re encouraged to participate in the repair process and learn alongside our volunteers. Bring your broken item, bring your curiosity, and let’s see if we can fix it together.

Repairs are free, and coffee, tea, and snacks will be available while you work!
