💡 Ever feel like your phone gets slower, battery dies by lunch, and your laptop turns into a jet engine during class? You’re not imagining it, and there’s a reason behind it.

📚 Join IEEE‑CS for a beginner-friendly deep dive into why today’s devices feel so fragile, how companies intentionally design product lifecycles, and what the Right‑to‑Repair movement is working to change.

🔍 No engineering background needed, just curiosity and an interest in understanding the phones and laptops you use every day, how to make them last longer, and save money.

⭐️ Plus, if you attend our event and another Climate Teach-in event, you get entered into a raffle for prizes, just two stamps on the CTI Passport and you’re in!

👤 Host: Elan Berezovskiy - Junior, Computer Engineering. Vice Chair for IEEE-CS at USF.

🎁 Free popcorn chicken, Pub Subs, and exclusive IEEE‑CS cat stickers!
Food Provided (Popcorn chicken, Pub subs, veggie sandwiches, fresh fruit, and Publix lemonade and sweet tea)
