The Repair Fairs are a twice-per-term event series at which people can bring their broken items and learn how to fix them, as well as attend demos to learn D.I.Y. skills. Repair Fairs will continue in the 2014-15 academic year and will be scheduled in the months of October, November, January, February, April and May. Stay tuned to the Repair Fair website <\/a>for details.<\/p>\n
