[dorkbotdc-blabber] Dorkbot DC + Make DC workshop: show of hands

[R. Mark Adams, Ph.D.]

As a data point, my daughters (age 7 and 10) really enjoyed working on the
solar-roller Dorkbot project.  We made one for all of us, and although
they did a lot of the construction, I helped them with the soldering,
since it was pretty tiny.  The funny part was that my 7-year-old did
somewhat better at it than my 10-year-old.  Everyone had a great time,
though.  Bottom line- my suggestion is to get one and work on it together-
that way nobody gets frustrated... :-)
