Soldering is the process of connecting pieces of metal together using another special metal, called solder, that melts at a lower temperature. It's a little bit like welding. When the melted solder cools, it creates a solid connection between the metal pieces. Soldering allows you to repair electronic toys and gadgets, create your own electronic devices, make jewelry and more. Learning how to solder can open a new world of fun and rewarding activities for the whole family.
