Wednesday, April 9 from 2:30-5pm

The final Halle Fix-It Hub event of the Winter semester wrapped up on a high note with a laid-back, welcoming atmosphere—and the most successful repairs of any session so far! Participants brought in a variety of items, from jewelry and clothing to a mini blender, and worked side-by-side with repair coaches to bring them back to life. Students learned some basic sewing skills, while others discovered the satisfaction of diagnosing and fixing everyday items. It was a productive and rewarding way to close out the semester.

We’re excited to announce that the Halle Fix-It Hub will return in September, following the summer break. We’re already making plans to build on the momentum from our first three events and continue fostering a culture of repair, sustainability, and skill-sharing within the EMU community. Stay tuned for more details in the fall!

Wednesday, March 26 from 2:30-5pm

The second Halle Fix-It Hub event was another great success, drawing a strong turnout and even sparking additional interest from attendees of a nearby Archives event. Participants engaged enthusiastically with repair coaches, collaborating to troubleshoot and restore their broken items. A notable highlight was the enthusiasm for sewing repairs, which has inspired us to incorporate a dedicated basic sewing skills section in our April event. We’re thrilled to see the Fix-It Hub growing into a vibrant space for hands-on learning, sustainability, and community connection!

Tuesday, February 18 from 2:30-5pm

The inaugural Halle Fix-It Hub was a great success, bringing together members of the EMU community for a hands-on, collaborative repair experience. Participants tackled ten repair projects, successfully restoring seven items while learning valuable troubleshooting and repair skills. The event fostered a lively and engaging atmosphere, with repair coaches and attendees working together to solve problems, share knowledge, and build a culture of sustainability. The energy in the room was contagious, highlighting the power of community-driven learning and resourcefulness. We look forward to continuing this momentum at the March Fix-It Hub event!
