Get Something Fixed For Free @ Yakima Maker Space Events!

Thanks to the world of YouTube and talented and compassionate individuals from all around the world, it’s getting easier to learn how to fix things.

However, YouTube can only teach so much, and sometimes the tutorials can fast-track a process or skip a step just because the person instructing might think that it’s common sense.

Other times, there can be technical problems with the video. The camera is not at the right angle, or the video is too dark, or the sound is muffled.

I once saw a tutorial where the person’s thumb was over the camera in half of the video.

Long story short, YouTube is great, but it is no substitute for someone right there in front of you, working on your broken item and helping educate you along the way… for free!

Kudos to Yakima Maker Space for hosting Free Yakima Repair Events every month!

What To Know About the Free Yakima Repair Event

Every 3rd Saturday of the month, Yakima Maker Space (16 S. 1st Street in Yakima) invites people to bring their things that need fixing, and fingers crossed, someone will be there who can fix them.

Each event goes from 10 am to 2 pm and promises to educate people as well as TRY to fix things such as broken bikes, electronics, household items, and even mend clothing!

Repairs are on a first-come, first-serve basis, and repairs are not guaranteed, and repairs lasting more than an hour may be turned away.

“Bring broken items & have volunteer 'fixers' try to repair the item with your input for free!

 

While there’s no guarantee that an item can be fixed, participants are sure to learn something new & have fun along the way!”
