Unlock the world of electronics by learning to solder.
This workshop is designed to help you get the feel for soldering electronic components on circuit
boards. We will concentrate on through hole electronic components used by most DIY kits popular
among hobbyists and inventors.
We will cover soldering safety, care for the soldering iron, proper soldering techniques and how to
remove parts using desoldering tools. We’ll finish the session by building the MintyBoost kit.
The MintyBoost lets you recharge your iPod or other USB connected devices from 2AA batteries all
tucked inside an Altoids tin.
