Day 1: Learning to solder and light a LED.

Today, we practiced soldering some electronic components onto an old board. I learned the importance of using flux before soldering because it helps the soldering iron to conduct heat and it cleans the copper. We soldered some wires together. Then we modified a phone charger to be used to power a breadboard.
