My daughters (3yo and 7 yo) and I are continuing the K2 build.

Both daughters are now capable of holding the soldering iron and the
solder during soldering.  They take turns now: one holding the solder and
the other holding the iron.  Both are sitting on my lap when soldering is
done.

Needless to say, the 7 year old is steadier than the 3 year old but both
are capable.  No obvious cold solders and Dad occasionally reflows the
joint when suspicious.  I am having them do only resistors/capacitors.  No
semiconductors.

I haven't tried having the 7 year old hold both the solder and the iron at
the same time but will try in the next few days.  I don't think the 3 year
old can hold both.

tnx.
Conway Yee, N2JWQ
