Soldering Workshop (Engineers Week) – Build a Kit on the Night
We’re running a beginner-friendly **soldering workshop at TOG Hackerspace for Engineers Week**.
If you’ve ever wanted to learn how to solder (or just get more confident with it), this is a hands-on session that starts from the basics and finishes with you building something real.
Like our previous soldering workshops, we’ll cover safe tool use, good technique, and the common mistakes that catch people out.
## What to expect
In this class, our instructors will guide you through the process of soldering components onto a circuit board. We’ll start with the fundamentals — how to use a soldering iron properly, how to get a clean joint, and how to spot (and fix) issues — then you’ll build your own project.
### New for this Engineers Week edition: choose your kit
On the night, you’ll get to **pick one of five different kits** and build it after the lesson. Each kit is designed to be achievable for beginners, with help on hand if you get stuck.
(We’ll share the list of the five kits closer to the date / on the booking page.)
## Workshop details
* **Date:** **Thursday, 5th of March**
* **Time:** **7:00 pm – 8:30 pm**
* **Location:** TOG Hackerspace, Dublin 12
* **Cost:** *€25*
* **Booking:** [https://www.tog.ie/2026/02/soldering-workshop-engineers-week-build-a-kit-on-the-night/](https://www.tog.ie/2026/02/soldering-workshop-engineers-week-build-a-kit-on-the-night/)

The Literati Dublin
Hello Everyone!
Let's read something before coming to the event. It can be a few pages from a book, an article, a poem, an advertisement, a joke, a recipe, a quote, social media content - anything you find interesting. We meet and chat about it, as a starting point of conversation.
Please feel free to bring books :)
Let's Be Honest Together
This event has a different topic each time and includes a variety of interactive exercises. It's an engaging and creative way to express ourselves, and connect with how others think, feel and deal with life. We will aim to provide a supportive and sate environment and open up about our lives freely.
A lot of times we don't talk about what we are really going through because we are worried of what people might think of us. This causes us to bottle things up, feel disconnected with the people around us or feel ashamed of ourselves.
Anything you share in the session is confidential and shall not be disclosed outside of the room.
Please only RSVP if you intend to come and change your RSVP to 'No' if you are not going to be able to attend.
• **PRICE:** 5 € to cover the room (Revolut/Cash/ Paypal). Please pay the fee after the workshop.
• **TIME:** We will start at 19:25 and finish at 20:55.
Please be on time, to respect other members in the group.
• **VENUE:** We are meeting at the Abbey Presbyterian Church - Parnell Square N, Rotunda, Dublin 1 (entrance on the side of Frederick St.). The room is on the first floor, at the back on your left.
• **NOTE:** Even though the event is held in a religious institution, the group and the event are entirely secular and the exercises are by no means related to spirituality or religion.
