Our Work
The iFixit Foundation is working to create a world where everyone can fix every thing. From consumer electronics to appliances, we're operating three key levers to change the throwaway culture.
👩🎓Teaching the Next Generation
- •We've trained 30,000+ future engineers in repairable product design
- •Our service learning project is in use at over 100 partner universities
- •Students develop industry-relevant skills while creating open-access repair documentation used by millions
📊Labeling Product Repairability
- •Know before you buy how long a product will last
- •Consumer choice drives long lasting product design
- •Our leading standards are developed in collaboration with industry
🔧Local Community Fixit Clinics
- •We coordinate hundreds of events to fix things together in person
- •Local gatherings of people helping each other create durable emotional connections
- •These events knit together communities while mending gadgets
University Program
Our university program empowers the next generation of engineers with hands-on repair experience, creating real-world documentation that helps people fix their devices.

Defining Repairability: The Science of Lasting Design
The Elements of Repairability
A truly repairable device starts with thoughtful design choices. Can it be opened without breaking? Are spare parts available? Does repair documentation exist? The answers shape not just the life of the product, but its impact on our world.
Inspiring Repairable Design
Our comprehensive scoring system evaluates products based on multiple factors, ensuring a holistic approach to repairability assessment.
Shaping the Future
Our scoring system isn't just measuring today's products—it's influencing tomorrow's designs. By defining clear standards for repairability, we're helping create a future where lasting, maintainable products are the norm, not the exception.
Supporting Community Repair
We're building a global network of repair communities, empowering local fixers to share knowledge and make repair accessible to everyone. Join a community near you or start your own.
Effective + Scalable Local Organizing
When communities come together to repair, we create more than just fixed devices. We build connections, share knowledge, and empower each other to create a more sustainable future.
