Our Repair Cafe is back today! Our fantastic team of students, staff, industry, and community volunteers will be fixing electronic items, glasses, textiles and more between 12.15 pm and 1.45 pm in the Atrium of the School of Engineering.

We loved building an electronic circuit buzz wire game with the community of St Paul's and Bridging Histories at Malcolm X Community Centre yesterday.
This was the first of 7 collaboratively run events, which are all part of the Royal Academy of Engineering funded MAKERS Project.

We are wishing a Ramadan Mubarak to all our students, staff and partners who are observing Ramadan this year! Best wishes to you, your family and your friends.

We're really excited about this new project!

Our MAKERS project coordinator was recently interviewed by BCfm Radio to talk about the Repair Café, collaborations with community partners, and exploring 3D printing for repair. You can catch up here: bit.ly/49xg3Nr

Some of our fantastic students recently gave up their Saturday to support Baggator Nexus's campaign for clean air in Easton by helping to fix its #AirPollution and traffic counting sensors. Find out more more in our latest blog: bit.ly/3T9OOma

If you have a broken Air Quality or Road Traffic sensor [either @Luftdaten or Telraam ] bring it to St Marks Road this Saturday

We still have spaces for a great opportunity for our students to support Baggator Nexus in their efforts to improve air quality for their residents, by helping them to fix their pollution / traffic counting sensors this Saturday! bit.ly/49A86ar

We had a fantastic Tinkercad session the other day, exploring how #3Dprinting spare parts for #repair can be made accessible for community repairers, even with no previous 3D design experience.

Today, students, staff, and community #repair volunteers explored #Tinkercad as a tool for 3D designing spare parts. Can't wait to get the designs printed and test them out!
