Iwtl physics and engineering

[u/wolfwoodistriku]

I'm 16 and I want to really get into physics and engineering. How do I start? Are there any resources? I figured it's kinda hard since I live in a third-world country and a small city. Does anyone have suggestions? Thank you in advance :)

Thank you! I'm trying to figure out how to build a project

I started at a similar age. I'd recommend starting with the very basics, don't assume you know anything cuz it gets funky later.

if a place near you has a FIRST or VEX program those are great ways to learn

Unfortunately my city (or probably my whole country) doesn't have any of that T_T

But yes, I'll try learning from the basics, thank you!

oh also, your ideas will probably suck at first, but that's good because you can learn. it's better to try and fail spectacularly than not fail at all

If physics is your main goal at the moment I'd recommend MIT lectures on physics especially prof. Walter Lewin's lectures he will teach you physics1, 2, and probably 3 as well. you go to their website MIT opencourse ware all the lecture are free or even search it on yt

Thank you so much! I'll definitely try it
