About us

See our website for more information

We are a Makerspace located at the Livermore Municipal Airport in Livermore, CA. We have a focus on aviation and STEM, but are not exclusive to these areas. Members of our space use our equipment to work on personal or professional projects, take and teach classes about building and programing, and gather together to work on individual and group projects. We have an additional focus on drones and robotics. Our space includes 3-D printers, CNC mills and a laser cutter, an electronics lab, metal and wood working shops.

We are also a family friendly facility and try to offer fun learning experiences for our kids, opportunities for parents and children to work and learn together. We work with local Girl Scout, Boy Scout and 4-H groups to help augment their STEM learning activities.

WHAT IS A FIXIT CLINIC?
Fixit Clinics are "pop up" events where members of the public have the opportunity to get common household items repaired. These clinics are hosted by various groups who enjoy tinkering, building and repairing.

Robot Garden is offering free In-Person Fixit Clinics for TriValley residents.

Before throwing away any broken items sitting around your house or garage, think about getting them repaired to extend their useful life. Robot Garden is here to help! It’s a great way to save money and to reduce your waste stream. If you're not sure if an item can be fixed or is even worth fixing, stop by and we'll help assess it.

Join us for this free event where our “Fixit Coaches” will work with you to diagnose and repair your item. It could be a piece of ceramics, a small appliance, wooden stool, toy, cell phone, laptop or other electronics. We’re able to work on a wide variety of items.

VOLUNTEER
Join Robot Garden as a “Fixit Coach” to help repair items. If you like to tinker and learn, this is a great opportunity to meet with other like minded people. We welcome coaches of any age from high school to retired.

HIGH SCHOOL & COLLEGE STUDENTS WELCOME
Robot Garden is specifically encouraging high school and college students to volunteer as Fixit Coaches. We're working to pass on these skills to a new generation. You will be coached on how to use equipment and complete repairs. Note that high school students can get school credit for volunteer hours worked.

TOOLS ARE PROVIDED
Fixit Clinic volunteers just need to show up. Robot Garden provides the tools, equipment, parts and supplies necessary to do a wide variety of diagnostics and repairs.

Are you the DIY type? If so, you are welcome to complete the repair yourself. Tools, equipment, and supplies will be made available. There will be plenty of help around if you have questions or need assistance.
