Broken phone or tablet? We can help!

  • Advanced Cyber Systems Lab at Gateway Community College

Summary

TEC invites you to our October Right to Repair Workshop on Tuesday, October 15th at 7 p.m.

This FREE hour-and-a-half workshop is at the GateWay Community College Washington Campus in the Advanced Cyber Systems Lab (ACSL). See below for detailed location and parking information.

🤳 Bring your own broken phone or tablet OR use one of our busted devices to learn on risk free! After a 10-minute introduction to the Right to Repair movement, you’ll have time (and guidance) to fix a techno-widget.

🔧 We have all the specialty tools you’ll need thanks to iFixit! That includes everything from technical screwdrivers to antistatic tables.

❗ Note: We are NOT going to fix your device for you. The point of this event is to empower you to learn to REPAIR TECH YOURSELF. ❗

💡 Mustafa Ungyer, from MicroFix, will offer expert guidance on fixing the device. He’ll help you find the right manuals, credible online videos and demonstrate using the tools and equipment. In addition to being an experienced repair technician, Mustafa has nearly 20 years of teaching experience.

🌍 Save the planet! And money! 💲 Your old tech does NOT have to end up in a landfill and you don’t need to be a techie to save some money.

⭐ MicroFix is a locally owned cell phone repair shop in Tempe, Arizona. They’ve been fixing phones, tablets, and PCs since 2016, addressing a wide variety of technical problems. If they can’t fix it, they don’t charge for it. You couldn’t ask for a more knowledgeable, ethical guide than Mustafa for your right-to-repair journey.

If you're interested in collaborating with TEC on this initiative, want to answer but don't want to deal with Google Stalk, please send an email to contact@techedcollab.org or drop a line in the TEC Discord.

Thanks for making it down to the end! If you love what TEC does and want to see more great events, opportunities to interact with the community and more, we welcome your support.

We are an all-volunteer Arizona 501(c)3 nonprofit and donations are tax deductible.
