What Inspired You to Make This?

As engineers, we were doing outreach with high schoolers back in 2015, hoping to share some of the joy we had found in engineering. Since melting metal to make your first circuit come alive is a magical, visceral feeling that everyone (especially teenagers) should get a chance to experience, we chose to run a soldering workshop. We'd been unable to find a suitable kit for a one-hour workshop, so we designed our own. The workshop was a hit. We put the extras we had online, open-sourced the designs, and have been making and selling them ever since from Sacramento, California.
