We run free, hands-on workshops that teach people — especially seniors and first-time repairers — how to fix their own devices, stay safe online, and keep usable electronics out of landfills.
01
Drop in, pick up a driver, open something. A 12-week curriculum you can join any week — no signup needed to attend.

03
Bring us your dead electronics. We triage every device: resell, refurbish, parts, or recycle. Nothing goes to waste by default.

This is the teaser. The full graded repair simulator — real iFixit guide photos, mistakes priced in real dollars — lives in Teardown.
The 30 Pro Tech Toolkits and mats on our benches, plus the open repair guides we teach from — in the workshops and inside Teardown.
Donated the ~110 desktops and laptops that form our hardware base — the machines we repair, teach on, and refurbish to give away.
Pick your town, get its schedule and signup link. No chapter near you yet? That's your opening — we'll help you start one.
Instructors, refurbishers, chapter leaders for new towns. Email us — we'll find you a bench.
DonateTax-deductible. Old laptops, desktops, and parts become the next class's teaching hardware.
PartnerCompanies keep the toolkits stocked and the drives running. Talk to us about sponsorship.
New chapter announcements, workshop schedule changes, e-waste drive dates. That's the whole email — nothing else.
501(c)(3) status: granted. And here's the part donors like: when a donated device can't be refurbished, we resell it for parts — and the proceeds fund the program directly.
Campaign link pending. Device donations welcome too — desktops, laptops, batteries, screens, parts.
