Trashlab at Kaupunkiverstas February
Every first tuesday of the month during 2014 we organise Trashlab fixing/hacking event in Kaupunkiverstas, Lasipalatsi from 16-19.
4th of February Trashlab is hosted by Mikko Laajola - specialist in electronics and general stuff and Eero Yli-Vakkuri, horse-, scissors- and electronics specialist.
Trashlab (formerly known as Trashlab Repair Cafe) events are social occasions to gather and try to fix the things you have that are broken, and meet others who care about tinkering, fixing, hacking, and the problem of waste and obsolescence in society. For each event we have at least two expert-hosts, who will try to identify the problems or diagnose the broken item. We encourage people also to share their skills, learn from peer to peer and develop their own methods. While Trashlab cannot guarantee that all items are fixed (some might get diagnosed, some even more broken) - we can guarantee that participants will get more information on how to proceed with their broken item. Trashlab provides basic tools and materials for fixing, but if you have very specific items, you´d like to fix, please notify us in advance: paivi.raivio [-at-] gmail.com
