Space Girl Soldering Kit – A Wearable Electronics Project

The Space Girl Soldering Kit by MakerQueenAU is back in stock on Crowd Supply, bringing a fresh and fun way to explore electronics. Unlike traditional DIY electronics kits, this one offers a unique blend of hands-on learning and artistic design. The result? A light-up, wearable badge that’s both functional and visually stunning.

Designed by Steph Piper, a maker well known for creative soldering kits, the Space Girl Soldering Kit is part of a growing collection aimed at making electronics more engaging. Whether you’re a beginner learning to solder or a seasoned maker looking for a cool project, this kit offers an accessible way to develop soldering skills while creating something wearable and interactive.

What’s Inside the Space Girl Soldering Kit?

The kit features a custom-designed PCB with a rare two-tone soldermask effect, making it look similar to an enamel pin. But beyond aesthetics, it’s also a fully functional electronic project. Here’s what’s included:

• Color-Cycling LEDs – Two LEDs that smoothly transition between colors, adding a dynamic touch without requiring programming.
• Switch and Battery Holder – A simple power control mechanism with a standard CR2032 coin cell battery.
• Badge Pin and Clasp – Once assembled, it can be worn on clothing, backpacks, or other accessories.
• Easy-to-Follow Assembly Guide – The kit includes a step-by-step instructional video to ensure a smooth assembly process.

Note: Soldering equipment and battery are not included, and care should be taken with the coin cell battery due to potential swallowing hazards.

Why This Kit Stands Out

Many electronics kits focus purely on functionality, but the Space Girl Soldering Kit is designed to be both practical and visually appealing. Here’s what makes it special:

• Aesthetically Pleasing and Wearable – Unlike most soldering kits, this one creates something that’s meant to be displayed and worn.
• Perfect for Beginners – An ideal introduction to soldering, offering a simple yet rewarding electronics project.
• Part of a Larger Collection – MakerQueenAU also offers other creative kits, including the Biology Girl Badge, Cat Lamp Nightlight, and the Glow Stitch LED Project.
• No Programming Required – Simple components like color-changing LEDs and photoresistors make the kit engaging without requiring coding knowledge.
• Encourages STEM Learning – Provides an interactive way to understand circuits, components, and soldering techniques.

Whether you're a beginner eager to learn soldering or a maker looking for a fun electronics project, the Space Girl Soldering Kit offers a fantastic blend of creativity and hands-on experience. With its beautiful design and easy assembly, it’s a perfect project for hobbyists of all ages.
