Tools including hammers, goggles, and screwdrivers will be provided.

The Appliance Autopsy is organized by University and Hospital Community Relations in the Tech and Discovery Neighborhood. Attendees can also participate in “Stump Professor Longtin,” another activity featured at the same location.
