Our first volunteer appreciation Take it (A)Party last Monday was a ton of fun! Our volunteers get some sweet sweet perks, like events where they can all get together and tear things apart.

Take it (A)Parties are an invitation to take already-broken electronics apart and look at their insides! Participants get the chance to dismantle a device and figure out how it does what it does in a space that fosters curiosity and confidence. We work together at identifying what the components inside are for and how they function. At the same time, we have a group discussion around how to move beyond observation to diagnosis and ultimately repair or re-use. The goal is to encourage adopting and sharing repair and maintenance concepts and ethos.
