Restart @school session 5: Understanding Upgradability and Laptop Maintenance
Our first repair session – and the students were super excited to learn and show their skills in disassembly. Archer Academy’s IT Manager Khalid provided laptops with broken screens. We started with laptop fundamentals.
Repair in school, around the world
We are seeing hints that electronics repair is spreading and proliferating in both primary and secondary school, in Europe and North America.

Communicating the impact of our gadgets to students and young people
This week, we were really excited to deliver our first lesson remotely to a classroom in Chicago. Our lesson really provokes students to think about the material aspects of the internet and our digital culture. Students were very engaged.
