Back to School Repair Café – Make It Space Edition

Get ready for the new school year with a special Back to School–themed Repair Café!

Bring along your school essentials for a pre-term spruce-up, including:
• School uniforms & hats
• Bikes & scooters
• Backpacks & school bags
• Small office furniture & chairs
• Stationery items (any size)
• Pencil cases and zips
• Lunchboxes and drink bottles
• Tech basics like headphones or calculators
• Books
• Fidget toys
• Plus any small mechanical or everyday items that need a refresh

We also have access to the 3D printers at the Mick Bennett Make It Space, so we may be able to print small parts to help fix broken items—another great way to keep things out of landfill while showcasing the gear available at MBMS.

Not at school? No worries! You’re warmly invited to bring along any item you’d like us to take a look at.
