As mentioned in a previous post, the Illini Gadget Garage will have an information table at the upcoming Campus Sustainability Celebration, Wednesday, Oct. 26 at Alice Campbell Alumni Center Ballroom here on the UIUC campus, from 4 to 6 p.m. See the Facebook event for the celebration on the Institute for Sustainability, Energy and Environment (iSEE) Facebook page.
Besides being present to explain more about the project, we’re hoping to be able to sit down with a few folks during the event for “do-it-together” troubleshooting and repair so that celebration attendees can get a feel for how our process works.
So if you’re a student, faculty or staff member with plans to attend the celebration, you have a small electronic device or appliance that needs some repair or troubleshooting, and you don’t mind others observing work that’s done on your item, contact us at illinigadgetgarage@gmail.com to inquire about being part of a demonstration that day. We can only work with a couple of people on demonstration projects during the limited time of the event, and there are some space and other restrictions to consider, so email and provide some basic information on the device and issue you’re having. If we can’t accommodate you during the sustainability celebration, we’ll work with you to set up an alternative time for you to come into our physical location to work on your device.
