RMM Summer Series: Intro to Soldering

Learning how to solder with proper soldering techniques is a fundamental skill every maker should master. In this introductory class, participants will learn the basics of soldering irons, soldering stations, types of solder, desoldering, and safety tips. Participants will then put these basics into practice and assemble a small electronic device using concepts learned. Whether you’re building a robot or working with Arduino, knowing how to solder will come in handy!
