- Learn basic electronics.

- Learn about micro controllers and embedded programming.

- Learn about motors.

- Learn about gears, pulleys, torque - some physics things - enough to think about how you could potentially build something.

- Build something small. Maybe a robot sunflower that follows the sun with a built in solar panel that keeps its battery charged... I dunno, I just came up with that. Or an automatic blinds opener / closer for your blinds / home curtains.

- Learn, build, rinse, repeat..
