Learn Electronics Soldering Class

Ever wanted to learn how to solder? In this hands-on class taught by Stan O. and Sam B., you'll assemble an electronic D6 (six-sided die) kit while picking up real electronics skills you can use on future projects. We'll focus on through-hole soldering (the perfect starting point for beginners) and cover soldering safety, tool basics, and proper technique. Guidance is provided every step of the way, so no prior experience is needed.

This class is suitable for beginners, and is recommended for ages 12+. This class is open to the public, you do NOT need to be a MAKE Roanoke member to attend!

All materials, taxes, and fees are covered in the class price of $35. The discounted rate for MAKE Roanoke Members is $25. MAKE Roanoke members can also bring a guest at the discounted rate. Learn more about MAKE Roanoke membership at https://mkroa.org/membership. 

Members: This class counts as tool training for the electronics shop soldering irons, but they must complete the yellow shop training before using this equipment unsupervised
