Event Details

Having trouble winning at Mario Kart, or your character in Animal Crossing has a mind of its own? You probably are experiencing stick drift. That's when those little joysticks become worn from all those amazing adventures you've been having on your Switch.

We invite you to join the Sam Gary Teen advisory board with the ideaLAB team's assistance to help keep your Nintendo Switch in perfect working order with our hands-on Joy-Con repair workshop! Please bring your drifting Joy-Con device and Switch console to calibrate the joystick following the repair. We'll provide a replacement Hall-effect joystick that not only fixes drift, it prevents it from happening ever again.

Participants must register below and complete the Technology Release Waiver.

Note: This event is exclusively for teens (age 13-17). Due to the technical nature of the repair, we can't welcome younger participants at this time.
