Maker Basics: Soldering

Maker Basics Workshops are designed for Makers of all skill levels to come into the Fab Lab and learn something new with fun hands-on activities!

This week is an introduction to Soldering Electronics. You will watch a demonstration about safety, technique, and careers that use soldering. You will have a chance to practice your technique by using a soldering iron, and a learn to solder kit that has LED lights, switches and coin cell batteries.

The Fab Lab Staff are here to help walk you through your project and printing, and are happy to answer your questions.

Attending a Maker Basics Workshop is a helpful first step to visiting the Fab Lab during Open Lab Hours, where you can work on your own projects with the help of Fab Lab Staff.

• There is no cost to attend. Materials are provided.

• All ages and skill levels are welcome in the Fab Lab; however, this workshop is best suited for middle schoolers and up because of the required dexterity and risk of burn injuries . Please email Sarah at [email protected] if you have any questions. Youth under 16 must be accompanied by an active adult participant, and submit a completed waiver. (available in the Fab Lab)

• Space is limited to 15, and once the Fab Lab is at capacity, we may turn visitors away. The doors open at 5:15.
