 This 3hr class will cover basics of electronics soldering. Perfect for beginners.
Ages 14+ This is a one-on-one class with Steve Scotten, long time instructor and
volunteer coordinator at TVCOG. After purchase, you will coordinate a time with 
the instructor via email to complete the class. The instructor is typically available
weekdays and weekend afternoons.

Learn to solder! This session will focus on the tools, techniques, and materials
of small-component soldering. The class will touch on a broad range of supporting
topics but will focus primarily on assembly of discrete components to a through-
hole circuit board. This is a hands-on course in which you will solder, desolder
and splice using multiple techniques. You'll learn for yourself when (and more importantly
why) to choose a particular method, tool, or material, and how to do the work safely.
You'll leave with a small electronic device you've assembled yourself, and the know-
how needed to create good electrical connections for your own projects.
