Let the MAKEcation solder-fest BEGIN!

MZ_MAKEcation_FamilySolder.gif

Well, we’ve completed our first week of our MAKEcation programming, “Teach Your Family to Solder.” We hope we’ve inspired you to take up the firesticks, grab some noxious metal on a spool, and start dripping beads of molten alloy all over sensitive electronic components. Good, clean fun for the whole family!

Win awesome booty!
If you and family members DO decide to learn soldering, document it. Take photos and/or video and send us the links. Load them onto the MAKE Flickr pool and tag them with “MAKEcation.” At the end of August, the Maker Media staff and soldering Camp Counselor Dave will be choosing the most interesting, entertaining, creative entries. Our favorite will get a $100 Gift Certificate to the Maker Shed! Five other entries will get a choice of a copy of The Best of MAKE or The Best of Instructables. We’ll also be giving away some Maker’s Notebooks too. So gather the family ’round and get crackin’

Don’t forget:
You can send any questions, comments, suggestions, and links to your MAKEcation media to Camp Counselor Dave at campcounselor@makezine.com.

And: We have a specially priced “Teach Your Family to Solder” bundle in the Maker Shed, with three easy-to-build beginner kits in it, a copy of MAKE, Volume 01 (with soldering tutorial), and a Maker’s Notebook). A significant deal at only $36.

Here’s a wrap-up of the week’s soldering-related content:
