    12:45 – iPad Repair Hands-On Session (All)

    • Would you like to learn how to fix your own iPads when they break? Bring a broken iPad with you to the workshop and you will learn how to fix it for about 25% of the cost of leading repair centers.
    • If you are planning on bringing an iPad, please Email josh.stukel@swsc.org by January 16 with the iPad model and a Purchase Order number and we will have the parts for the repair at the workshop, feel free to bring more than one device or inquire with Josh Stukel if you have a device other than an iPad you would like to try to fix. The cost for parts will range from $20 to $100 or more depending on the type of iPad and extent of the damage (Ie. Screens for an iPad 2 or 3 are $20, screens for the iPad mini and iPad Air are $40).
    • Please note that fixing your own device will void any manufacturer's warranty and it is possible that permanent damage and data loss could occur during the repair. SW/WC Service Cooperative shall assume no responsibility for any damage or loss that occurs while repairing devices.

    2:00 - Maker Spaces (All)

    • We'll explore what sphero, squishy circuits and littlebits are and how the maker-space movement is impacting education.
