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 retro game handheld. A little more advanced than the LED torch, this kit uses a basic silicone chip and an LED matrix to play 4 games.
