RepairCafé on campus

If a household appliance no longer works or sewing work is needed, a visit to the RepairCafé on campus can now also help. This self-help workshop helps visitors to hopefully get their faulty appliance back in working order under the guidance of tech-savvy volunteers.

RepairCafé takes place on campus every third Tuesday between 5 and 7.30 pm. Anyone who would like to receive free support and advice on repairs is welcome. The RepairCafé is a regular repair event that takes place in the SLUB Makerspace in the Drepunct library (Zellescher Weg 17). Not only the volunteers of the RepairCafé Dresden/ Freital initiative provide support, but also SLUB staff with knowledge and equipment ranging from 3D printers to sewing machines.

In addition to repairing things, the focus is also on the café character. Visitors to the RepairCafé will be able to talk to each other over coffee and cake.

Register for the RepairCafé online at: https://tu-dresden.de/tu-dresden/umwelt-und-klima/greenoffice/anmeldung-repaircafe or at the TU Dresden Green Office on 0351/463-33037.
