Jimmie Rogers teaches one person at a time how to solder at Maker Faire Bay Area 2011. For only one dollar, participants can buy a kit with a small PCB, a battery, and flashing LED all mounted on a cute robot pin. Jimmie and Mitch Altman have taught thousands to solder at Maker Faire over the years, and we love that its become tradition.

Uhh, Becky, you sell them for $3, not $1. That doesn’t even include shipping…. Are you referring only to the Faire prices?

  Yes, that’s what the Learn to Solder sessions (w/solder badge) cost at the Faires. The Solder Merit Badge kit is $3 in the Maker Shed.
