Kit-A-Day Giveaway: Learn to Solder Badge Kit

Kit-A-Day Giveaway: Learn to Solder Badge Kit

We’re giving away amazing kits from our new Make: Ultimate Kit Guide EVERY DAY — thousands of dollars worth of merchandise, including MakerBots!

To celebrate the release of our latest publication, the Make: Ultimate Kit Guide 2012 (and its companion website), we’re giving away at least one of the cool kits reviewed in the issue each day during the holiday season.

Today’s kit giveaway of the Learn to Solder Skill Badge may not be as glorious as some of the other items but we’re giving you 25 of them! In addition, we are throwing in a Variable Temperature Soldering Iron so you and 24 friends can learn to solder together.

It’s the perfect giveaway for hackerspaces, schools, or people that really like things that blink (a $79.99 total value.) Here is the review from the issue:

Thousands of people mastered soldering for the first time at this year’s Maker Faire events in the Maker Shed’s “Learn to Solder” tents, with the helpful coaching of Mitch Altman, Jimmie Rodgers, and dozens of other hackerspace volunteers. Participants left the Maker Shed with smiles on their faces, new skills, increased confidence, and a cool flashing LED badge to show for it. It’s the perfect gateway project kit for groups, after-school classes, or just for yourself.

To be eligible for today’s giveaway, all you have to do is leave a comment below in this post. The entry period for today’s prize will be until 11:59pm PST tonight. We’ll choose one person at random, you’ll be notified by email, and you’ll have 48 hours to respond. The Winners List is kept on the Giveaway landing page. That’s it! No purchase necessary or anything else to do. Please leave only one comment per post. You can enter as many giveaways as you like until you win. This giveaway is for US residents only.

    Whoa, I’ve been looking to learn to solder for my future techie based halloween costumes and Christmas decorations. And automate my chicken coop. And fix my wife’s laptop power supply. And replace some capacitors on my squealing computer monitor. Man I need to learn to solder.

    I would love to win this for my son.

    How about a suggestion for the next generation of merit badges:  leave a blank space on the badge so it can double as nametag.

  534. Matt Kopas says:

    Been meaning to learn to solder for a while!

  535. Courtney Christensen says:

    These kits would make an awesome workshop to do with the kids at Computers4Kids (http://www.computers4kids.net/).  I’ve already gotten them excited about the TV-B-Gone, but it’d be good to work up to that.

  536. Mama Chao says:

    I would use these with my son’s class, and would keep the soldering iron for myself of course.

  543. Paul Szymkowiak says:

    That’s fantastic! I’m just planning our first Mini Maker Faire, and I’d just love to win this for our learning to solder workshop. Unfortunately, I’m based in Melbourne, Australia, so I guess I won’t qualify to win the giveaway. Brilliant learners kit though A++++

  547. Toni Childers says:

    Soldering iron?  I’m not sure what I would do with one, much less 25.  Of course, my friends and I could all benefit from a new hobby and a new skill…
