Project 1	Project 2

In the first part of this workshop you will be creating your own basic LED torch. This kit is the best way to practice your through-hole soldering as it's got basic components, and plenty of spare through-holes for practicing.	The second half of this workshop will see you creating your very own functional line-following robot. A little more advanced than the LED torch, this robot uses a basic silicone chip and infrared LEDs to follow a black line.
