There is no need for anyone to purchase kits from Mitch in advance. Each space will need to provide the following to have a successful workshop:<br> <br> * For '''each participant''': ** 1 soldering iron, 15W to 40W ** 1 soldering iron stand ** 1 cellulose (not plastic) sponge (for cleaning the soldering iron tip) ** 1 small wire cutter (similar to [http://www.mpja.com/4in-Mini-Diagonal-Cutters/productinfo/16498+TL/ 10cm wire cutters]) ** 1 or 2 AC outlets (with extension cords and/or AC power strips to make things work) ** 1 chair ** table space ** enough lighting so that people can see small things while soldering <br> * '''Each space''' will also need to have: ** 1 roll of good, thin, 60/40 (Sn/Pb), rosin core solder (similar to [http://www.mpja.com/032in-Dia-60-40-Kester-Solder/productinfo/19101+TL/ 0.81mm diameter solder with lead]) ** 1 hot glue gun ** hot glue sticks that fit in the hot glue gun ** 1 small needle nose pliers (similar to [http://www.amazon.com/TEKTON-3504-Precision-Needle-Pliers/dp/B000NPR2KI/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1351481977&sr=8-5&keywords=needle+nose+pliers 10cm needle nose pliers]) ** tip tinner (similar to [http://www.jameco.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product_10001_10001_2094215_-1 this]) ** 1 wire strippers (similar to [http://www.jameco.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product_10001_10001_78992_-1 adjustable wire stipper]) ** 1 solder sucker (similar to [http://www.mpja.com/prodinfo.asp?number=0041+TL this]) ** 1 roll solder wick ([http://www.jameco.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product_10001_10001_41082_-1 similar to 2mm wide]) ** 1 paper scissors ** a pile of alkaline AA batteries ''All of the above are good to have at your space so that you can continue to have soldering workshops long into the future.'' <br> * For the Arduino For Total Newbies workshop, I also need: ** Projector ** Microphone and amplifier will be helpful ** Internet (wireless or wired) is helpful <br> <br> <br>
