Technician Development

 

Taking place at the School of Clinical Medicine

Technical staff are generally great at problem solving and fixing things, so what better way to share skills, meet new people and do our bit for sustainability than meeting up and mending things?

This brand new community welcomes fixers and general volunteers of  all abilities to come and have a go and learn some new skills.  Are you interested in fixing (or learning to fix):

  • Electricals
  • Electronics
  • Bikes
  • Mechanical items
  • Sharpening
  • Gluing
  • Sewing
  • Jewellery 
  • Woodwork 
  • Upholstery
  • Book binding
  • Or anything else
     

We are also looking to run skills demonstrations and 'how to' work shops!
You can let us know on this form.

We are looking to repair domestic appliances and items and not University equipment.  Bookings for items to repair will open soon.

*This network is linked with the wider Repair Cafe network and supported by Cambridge Carbon Footprint. Some of our volunteers are also active in this wider community outside of the University.
