How to Solder Workshop

Curious about electronics or DIY repair? Join us for a hands-on beginner-friendly soldering workshop where you’ll learn the fundamentals of safe, clean, and reliable soldering. We’ll cover basic tools, techniques, and common mistakes, then practice by assembling a simple project together.

No prior experience is required — just bring your curiosity. Whether you're interested in electronics, keyboards, maker projects, or fixing your own gear, this is a great place to start.

All skill levels welcome. Basic materials and tools will be available during the session.

Do you already know how to solder? Come along and help people learn good practice.

Remember, we have a Matrix chat room where you can get to know us before the meetings (and get help with any projects etc) - the room address is #opensource:glasgow.social - if you don't already use Matrix this is the invite link: https://glasgow.social/matrix

We're hosted in The Gamer Club - if you haven't been before, it's a purpose built basement venue for tech meetups - there is a console lounge, hack space, kitchen, PCs, projector, gigabit internet etc. You are welcome to bring your own drinks or snacks and you can help yourself to the free teas/coffees.
