![]() If your students are interested in the modeling and printing process, these parts can be customized and adapted. Each part can be printed on demand and be finished within an hour, costing less than a dollar for materials. Here is a good video explaining the process: ģD printing has revolutionized how makers generate parts for their project. When soldering, the best way to achieve a strong bond is by using the iron tip to heat the metal on the board and the component for a second, apply solder to the metal, not the iron, then remove both. The extra metal can be snipped of once soldered. For components like resistors with thin, long legs, the legs can be bent, slotted through the holes, and bent outwards to hold them in place. These can simply be held in place by your helping hands tool and soldered. For components like the thumbstick and buttons, the legs are short and thick. The board uses through-hole soldering process, in which metal legs of the components are put through the board and soldered on the bottom. Soldering is simply the process of creating an electrical connection between two points. I also recommend any instructors read the following article about giving kids the opportunity to play dangerously. Wearing gloves not only encourages dangerous behavior, but can cause worse injury if the student is not aware of the issue. Gloves are not recommended - it is much easier to sense heat with bare skin. Safety glasses should be worn to protect vision. Only hold the soldering iron by the padded grip and never touch any metal parts of the iron during or after use. ![]() Soldering irons are hot and can cause minor burns if handled incorrectly.

This gives students the opportunity to learn how to solder, and to really get hands on with the circuitry. ![]() If you have ordered the board for this lesson, you will have the option to have components ship separate from the board.
