“The Repair Detectives programme is designed to promote sustainability and explore technology. We want to spark curiosity in students around how things are made and how they work, build self-belief in their ability to fix or repurpose broken items, and understand the complete life-cycle of a product and its environmental impact. Our programme caters for Years 3-10, and consists of workshops, videos, activities, worksheets, lesson plans for teachers, and more.”
“In ‘How to Fix, Repair, and Clean Almost Anything’ students learn how to fix almost anything, while building up repair skills & knowledge, and creating their own repair kit! The Repair Lab is our online space for students to learn & share how to fix and repair things, ask questions, participate in monthly challenges, and get feedback on their repair projects.”
