Why relinquish if you can repair? That’s the shared philosophy of undergraduate students, Molly McGee and Eva Mills, who collaborated on UC Santa Barbara’s first fix-it fairs, community events where anyone can get free access to tools and expert help making minor repairs to items like clothing, jewelry, musical instruments, bikes, and skateboards.
The duo's work to bring fix-it fairs to UCSB, during their participation in the Environmental Leadership Incubator, was recently covered in the UCSB Spring-Summer 2024 Magazine edition.
