Description
Introduce students to electronics and maker skills with a hands-on Smart Soldering Kit that bridges creativity and coding.
- Solder working LEDs and onto a printed circuit board
- Battery-powered for immediate feedback
- Ready to plug-and-play with other micro:bit coding projects
The Smart Soldering Kit is the perfect way to introduce new learners to the skill of soldering! Plus, once finished, the Traffic Light component is compatible with the rest of the micro:bit powered coding & robotics products from Forward Education, like the Climate Action Kit. This means that learners can both build and solder their own functioning robotic component, as well as actually program the component using a micro:bit and MakeCode!
The Smart Soldering Kit comes with all of the components that are to be soldered onto the board which consists of buttons, resistors, lights, and a battery holder. Materials and tools to actually solder the board are not included.
A Forward Education Breakout Board, cable connector, and V2 micro:bit (available separately) are required to actually complete any coding projects with the component.
