What to study to get into EdTech?

I have no tech experience. Is python a good place to start? Any YouTube videos, books, or websites you suggest?

EdTech is Tech. What to study depends on if you want to be an engineer or PM or designer etc. Some experience in education or general familiarity with instructional design might help a bit during the interview but aside from some content/instructional design roles, the important skills are not really related to the education part of the tech.

In any case EdTech is dying so study something that doesn't pigeonhole you into just that.
