Program

Guest Speaker: Kyle Wiens

Kyle Wiens is the CEO of iFixit, the free repair manual. He’s dedicated his life to defeating the second law of thermodynamics, a battle fought in the courtroom as often as in the workshop. Kyle led the international coalition that established repair as a cornerstone of the circular economy and passed several Right to Repair laws around the world.

iFixit is an international, open-source, online repair manual for everything. Our mission is to provide people with the knowledge to make their things work for as long as possible. People all over the world are writing step-by-step repair manuals, helping each other troubleshoot their gadgets, and telling their repair stories. And since this platform is strongly collaborative, there are over 90,000 crowd-sourced repair guides with new ones published every single day. This massive, free resource has helped people fix everything from cellphones to game consoles, toys to musical instruments—because fixers, hackers, and makers everywhere finally have a global platform to share their knowledge.
