BUILD NIGHTS ARE BETTER THAN EVER
Our monthly Circuit Launch "Open House" evening for everyone, fun for the whole family! Join us every third Friday evening of the month for a trifecta of awesomeness:
○ Robot and Electronics Projects: Start a project, continue a project or discover one here: we provide the space, tools and peer learning – you bring your project and enthusiasm!
○ Sewing: Learn to do simple mending or get help with technical fabric and textile projects. In addition to regular machines our Sewing Lab features heavy-duty industrial sewing machines and sergers. Our mentor CC has worked for Academy or Art College, Tesla, SuitX, and Zipline and has vast sewing machine repair and maintenance experience; bring your own machine to tune up for tip-top operation and sew alongside others.
○ General Repair: Fixit Clinic's monthly residency at Circuit Launch in Oakland: bring your broken, non-functioning things – electronic gadgets, appliances, computers, toys, sewing machines, fabric items, etc.– for assessment, disassembly, and possible repair. We’ll provide workspace, specialty tools, and guidance to help you disassemble and troubleshoot your item. First-time repairers and “Fixing Families” are heartily invited. Learn more at https://www.fixitclinic.org/It's definitely worth a visit if you've never been here: tour Circuit Launch and see all the exciting companies and projects in progress.
