Solder - make a PCB!

what's in the kit?

5mm LED

random colors!

x24

resistors

220Ω, 4.7kΩ, 47kΩ

x15

2N3904 transistor

NPN type!!

x15

2N3906 transistor

PNP type!!

mini motor disc

it vibrates!

photoresistor

GL5528 + senses light...

10uF capacitor

stores energy

x10

6mm push button

very tactile. very clicky.

potentiometer

resistor... but flex

breadboard

use this to prototype!

x15

jumper wires

use on breadboard!

CR2032 battery cell

to hold the battery!

... and a grant to manufacture the printed circuit board you designed!

Plus, a soldering iron (and solder) if you don't have one!

Submission Requirements

you must be in high school (or younger)
the PCB/design/art needs to be original
the PCB needs to fit within 100x100mm
use the components given in the kit
add spice - something unique with flavour - to your PCB!

You could be making...

something to go on a keychain - maybe a cat?
a name badge - for hackathons, or even conventions :3
some cool logic gates with transistors
a fidget toy!

Club leader at your school?

Run a workshop!

We'll send you a kit for every member that submits, straight to your club - and you can assemble it together too! Send some pictures of your club doing Solder for some special swag!

Teacher?

Run a Solder workshop in your class! Get your students to learn about electrical components, let them make their own PCB, and we'll ship you some kits for them to assemble what they made :D
