    Only semi-related but check for local computer clubs/maker spaces in your area. Ours does everything from tutoring/group learning to monthly LAN parties. Learning CAD from Youtube is okay, learning CAD while being able to ask questions of a professional engineer is even better!

    I’ve been helping people move to/learn Linux (we have a bunch of donated Windows 10 desktop hardware to play with), it’s pretty rewarding to teach people who actually want to learn (training new hires who are clearly bored is not so much…) and we usually end up giving them the machine that they’re learning on if they need it.

    Just another way to pass it on and get some offline nerd socialization, if you’re into that kind of thing.
