My son and I took a free soldering class at our local makerspace, and he did a great job!
It was actually not as difficult as you might think. As long as your child/students understand not to touch the soldering iron itself, they could probably try out some soldering projects. Another consideration would be their fine motor skill ability. My son has some difficulty with writing, but he was able to manage the soldering iron very well. It was great for him to find something he could be very successful with. Below, I'm going to link to an intro video about soldering that you could watch if you're interested in trying soldering with your kids. Also, I'll link to some soldering projects and kits. |
Soldering Kits and Projects
Just as a standard disclaimer, make sure your kids have adult supervision at all times when using these projects/kits and make sure you follow all of the safety instructions that come with the projects/kits. I don't necessarily endorse any of these kits, so make sure you research them before you buy them for your kids.
