I’m at the Albuquerque Academy today giving a soldering workshop. We are using the learn to solder kit available in Maker Shed. One student decided to give his robot antennae by not trimming the LED leads and adding blobs of solder to the tips. Very cool!

Very cool, Quelab (also Albuquerque based) taught about 120 people how to solder at our little Mini Maker Faire last September!
