The Tie Pin “Learn to Solder Kit” was created so that when the Makerspace takes part in events with the public, we can teach people how to solder.

The kit consists of a PCB, pin, clip, batter holder, battery, two resistors, and two LEDs. There is through-hole as well as surface mount soldering involved.
