🧰 Tech Repair Zone

Get hands-on and learn the skills behind real computer repairs!

Our Tech Repair Zone is a mix of a real working workshop and an engaging learning area designed for NDIS participants.

Here, students explore everything from diagnosing hardware faults to building a computer from scratch — all taught in a friendly, supported, and inclusive environment.

Every week, we cover a new topic through trainer demonstrations and fun Kahoot-style learning games.
