+# Tools
+
+This page provides an overview of tools that you will (eventually) need to build your modules.
+
+* **Make sure to always read the safety notice of each individual tool.**
+
+## Philips screwdriver
+
+To open a toy, you will have to unscrew a large number of Philips screws. Students should have access to a wide range of screw driver sizes.
+
+## Wire cutter
+
+## Wire trimmer
+
+## Scissors
+
+## Cardboard scissors
+
+Cardboard can be challenging to cut with regular scissors.
+
+## Glue gun
+
+An absolute must in the Maker toolbelt is the glue gun. 
+
+* **Tip** Purchasing glue stick in bulk (e.g. 25 pound box) is MUCH cheaper than per small individual bags.
+
+## Soldering Iron
+
+* **Tip** 1 soldering station per classroom is typically enough for a start
