Soldering Clinic: Build Electronic Circuits

Learn how to connect wires and assemble electronic circuits in this introduction to soldering for middle and high school students.

[ Soldering is best for students 12 years or older, although some younger students with exceptional manual dexterity will enjoy it; they should be able to properly hold a pencil and thread a knitting needle. ]

We'll provide all of the basic equipment along with wires and practice circuit boards, but students will get the most from it if they bring an electronics kit. Amazon sells many in the $5 to $20 range. Some good choices are:

• Jitterbug
• Blink
• 10 LEDS
