About Fixing Electronics & Gadgets

One thing to keep in mind: we do not provide the hardware kits. To get the most out of these sessions, your child will need a basic home toolkit, including a screwdriver set, pliers, and a tester. It is better they learn on the tools they will actually use at home, and getting them comfortable with their own gear is half the fun of fixing.
