  • Fixit Clinic

    2025 Zero Waste Month
    Cabot Science Library 1 Oxford St, Cambridge, MA, United States

    Have you been holding onto a broken item in the hopes of repairing it? (Or perhaps found a nearly-working item at a Freecycle?) If so, come to our Fixit Clinic on Thursday, February 13th at the Cabot Science Library, between 12pm and 3pm. With help, you’ll disassemble your item, troubleshoot the issue, and (hopefully) repair it! Register your broken item ahead of time here.

    Don’t have anything to fix but have some fixing expertise to share? Sign up to be a coach here!

    Hosted by Harvard Libraries and Harvard Recycling & Waste. Contact dailey_brannin@harvard.edu with questions.
