My local makerspace routinely runs soldering workshops with kids as young as 
5.

Has anyone ever been burned? Sure. But mt toddler is in more mortal danger 
when she jumps off high parts of the playground and no parent has ever 
complained, in fact they keep coming back for more soldering next time!

PS. I am so bad at soldering. Some of the kids end up much better at it than 
me.
