Teen Repair Café

The TEEN Repair Café aims to encourage young people to adopt eco-friendly habits, such as repairing items instead of throwing them away, creating art from household waste, repurposing waste for other activities, expanding their environmental knowledge, and sorting difficult-to-recycle waste. The event plan calls for setting up 10 stations, each marked with a number and title and staffed by station supervisors selected from among the students of Class 8A. Visiting students must: - approach each numbered station - answer a question or complete a task - collect a stamp. Those who collect at least 6 stamps are allowed to enter and jump on the inflatable washing machine. Proposed stations – we will choose something together with the students: 1. Exhibition of vintage appliances, including a Frania washing machine with a mangling option (2 tables) 2. Task board titled “Water is leaking—what should I do?” (2 tables) 3. Test it out! – station for testing remote controls or batteries – (1 table) 4. Game – build a paper airplane and throw it into the drum (3 tables) 5. Game – what can you use a vacuum cleaner pump and hose for? (2 tables) 6. Collection of old, unwanted jewelry, which the Association will use to make keychains. Note: Posters and social media posts are needed one week before the event to announce the collection 7. Exhibition of jewelry made from electronic waste. (1 table) 8.
