Hi Margo,

I would suggest you spend some time looking at the potential risks 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.

Who says they can’t use a hot glue gun?? Lol. I’ve got my 2-5th graders using them. Seriously. They burn themselves once. And that’s it. Teachable moment. I’d take it slow with the solder iron and keep a steady watch. I’m all for teaching life lessons in the space if you can afford the time.  So many kids can’t use these tools at home. I love exposing them to it!!

I don't currently have a MakerSpace, but as someone who recently learned to solder, I'm not sure I'd want kids that young to solder. If they can't use a hot glue gun, they certainly shouldn't solder (since sometimes the fumes from the solder can be harmful). Just my two cents.

Does anyone have a maker area where they let elementary kids (3/4 graders) solder?  Any suggestions?
