Fix It - Kent | Design Innovation

Do you have skills of repair? Come share them at the DI Hub’s upcoming Fix-It Kent repair workshop! We’re looking for volunteers to share their expertise in topics including (but not limited to) electronics, woodworking, mending and sewing, as well as folks with general hand and power tool knowledge.

Volunteers will work one-on-one with participants to share advice, coach them through the repair process, and help them build confidence in their skills.
