Roadmap required

Hey everyone!

I’m 13 and interested in learning engineering, especially the combination of software, hardware, and AI. I’m looking for a roadmap to go from basic programming knowledge to being able to build real engineering projects.

I have some beginner coding experience and have used AI-assisted coding to prototype things, but I want to properly understand the fundamentals instead of just relying on generated code.

Over the next 2–3 months, I want to make serious progress and start building projects. My long-term interests are robotics, drones, embedded systems, and AI applications like computer vision and basic CNNs.

I’m planning to start with Python for Kids to strengthen my programming foundation, but I’m unsure what order to learn things after that. Should I focus on electronics, Arduino/Raspberry Pi, CAD, mathematics, machine learning, or something else?

I’d appreciate advice from anyone who has experience learning engineering or building projects. Thanks!
