Fixers, Unite! I stumbled across this wonderful document during some fixer-related web surfing one day. I think it's a great summary of many of the ideas that FutureFixers encourages kids to incorporate, not only in the context of the projects and programs they do with us, but in their lives in general. I've included the manifesto below, but here's a link to the original document created by the firm Sugru, makers of goop that fixes stuff (check out their site to see what I mean). Their preamble to the document goes as follows:
