Where We Are Today

Repair Babe Academy is already moving from idea to action.

Repair Babe Academy is developing pilot workshops, open enrollment training opportunities, and conversations with organizations that want practical tech learning for their communities.

The goal is to grow responsibly: start with focused sessions, learn from each group, strengthen the model, and build toward a dedicated Repair Babe Tech Hub over time.

Pilot workshops Small-group sessions introducing repair tools, safety, parts, and beginner repair concepts.
Open enrollment training Accessible learning for individuals who want a practical way into repair and tech confidence.
Partner conversations Exploring fit with organizations serving youth, residents, students, and job seekers.

Founder Story

This initiative grew out of years of repairing, teaching, and explaining technology.

Repair Babe Academy did not begin as a polished school program. It began in the real world: fixing devices, helping customers understand what went wrong, training team members, organizing tools, solving problems under pressure, and seeing how much confidence people gain when technology stops feeling mysterious.

The founder saw the same pattern again and again. People were curious. Young people wanted practical skills. Adults wanted a way into tech that did not feel intimidating. Community organizations wanted learning experiences that connected to real life.

As a women-led initiative, Repair Babe Academy is especially committed to helping women, girls, and underrepresented learners see themselves in repair, technology, trades, and entrepreneurship while remaining open and welcoming to all.

Repair Babe Academy exists because technical confidence can change how a person sees themselves.
The Repair Babe Ecosystem

Three connected parts, one community-centered model.

The academy is strongest because it is connected to a real service business and a growing partner pathway.

The long-term vision is a community technology hub where people can walk in for real repair services and also see learning happening behind the scenes.

This model creates more than a classroom. It creates a living training environment where learners can understand tools, service, entrepreneurship, customer care, and the value of solving real problems for real people.
