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!!<br><br><div id="AppleMailSignature">Sent from my iPhone</div><div><br>On Mar 25, 2018, at 5:38 PM, Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association <<a href="mailto:islma@list.railslibraries.info">islma@list.railslibraries.info</a>> wrote:<br><br></div><blockquote type="cite"><div><div dir="ltr">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.
