Have you ever wanted the confidence to open up your laptop and diagnose issues with its hardware? Join us in the Fireside Room to learn basic repair skills on a provided device. 

Each participant in the workshop will operate on a provided ThinkPad T480 where they will learn assembly, disassembly, and essential repairs. The goal is to give participants the confidence to open up and repair their own devices instead of throwing them out.  The workshop is managed by https://thinkpads4all.org/, a nonprofit based in Cupertino. 

Registration is required.

Come and play chess, one of the world’s oldest and most popular games, against other kids! One-hour meetings include 15 minutes of instruction by chess master Dana Mackenzie. For ages 6-18. We welcome all skill levels, but encourage beginners to at least learn the basic rules (how the pieces move) before coming the first time.

Note to parents: Chess is a great way for kids to build sportsmanship, concentration, and reasoning skills, while having a lot of fun!
