SPOTLIGHT ACTIVITY
Learn to Solder Booth
A fun, family-friendly STEM activity at the festival​​​​
In the Grand Foyer the festival is happy to have Brian Cox and his team from FutureVision Research back again. They are selling the new Official VCF SoCal 2026 Solder Badge Kit that he designed in cooperation with the festival. And, the Best Part:​​ His Team will help You solder your badge together!
Even if you've never soldered before -
You've Got This!​
Join my team and I at the Learn to Solder booth and get hands-on with one of the most useful skills in vintage computing. Once you’re finished, continue practicing at home with optional take-home learn to solder kits designed to reinforce and expand what you learned at the booth.
Whether you want to repair and restore vintage computers, learn more about how electronics really work, or simply have fun making something you can take home, this is your opportunity. No prior experience is required. Stop by, build a blinkie badge, and leave with both a finished project and a skill you can use long after the show ends.
Thank you,
Brian Cox​
