[ISLMA-Share] Maker Lab- Soldering

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

Hi Margo,

associated with soldering. They are small if you have a well ventilated
work area and take safety precautions, but still may be beyond what your
district will want to condone at the elementary level.
