Denver Tool Library

Our first volunteer appreciation Take it Apart(y) last Monday was a ton of fun! Our volunteers get some sweet sweet perks, like events where they can all get together and tear things apart.

Take it (A)Parties is an invitation to take already-broken electronics apart and look at their insides! Participants get the chance to dismantle a device and figure how it does what it does in a space that fosters curiosity and confidence. We work together at identifying what the components inside are for and how they function. At the same time, we have a group discussion around how to move beyond observation to diagnosis and ultimately repair or re-use. The goal is to encourage adopting and sharing repair and maintenance concepts and ethos.

Are you working on a home improvement project you want to show off? Did you teach yourself something new? Do you know how to change your car’s oil, mend clothes, or build things and want to share that knowledge with other people?

Join us for grown-up show-and-tell! We’re looking for people to share a short demo or presentation (~10 minutes) at our next skill share on Wednesday, August 19th at 6:00pm.

We have such a talented community, and we love seeing your projects and getting inspired to try something new.

Please email [email protected] if you’re interested!
