The University Heights Community Laboratory (CoLab) continues to roll out the community classes, many of which are centered around DIY angles. These types of free initiatives are priceless when you take into consideration the valuable lessons that we can all teach each other. From sharing how to make perfect soups, to the art of DIY shelving, our ability to offer a hand, to teach others the knowledge and skills that we have learned over the years, is what humanity is all about. We learn together, we solve problems together, and we grow together as a community.
