Soldering 101 26 Workshop

Soldering 101 workshop

Abstract

Soldering is a hardware skill that all hackers should learn in order to bring their digital projects into the physical world. From modifying badge hardware at conferences to building custom projects, modifying your devices, and repairing your own gear, soldering transforms you from someone who just uses technology into someone who can physically reshape it. This workshop will guide you through building your own light-up badge, complete with the essential components you ’ll encounter throughout your soldering journey. You will learn the different tools, parts, and techniques you’ll need to confidently face the world of hardware.
