What is the program about?
RGW was created to give students experience solving technical problems with resources that are freely available. During the program, small groups of students will meet each week to develop their writing skills and practice hands-on repairs. Following iFixIt’s standard project as an outline, STRI tech specialists will teach students about:
- Troubleshooting
- Technical writing
- Product photography
- Repair safety
- Basic hardware repair and maintenance
Then students will use the skills they have gained to write step by step guides on how to repair a device. If the guides are successful, they will be published on iFixIt’s website to help others with future repairs! Here is an example from the STRI team in 2019.
