Full event details

Don't be a throwaway nation, be sustainable and learn how to repair your electrical and mechanical items.

BCU will set up a repair lab at your school for the whole day. Staff and students can bring in something that isn't working or broken.

The repair lab will work with you to determine if it is repairable, if it is, then show you how to repair it. We can also offer sessions around common failings with headphones, hair straighteners, gaming consoles, how to wire a plug, etc. Hear about the different careers and pathways into engineering.
