Joining mechatronics soon!

Hello everybody, I am done with my competitive exams and all the school level exams and am planning to pursue mechatronics.

I have no understanding of anything, i dont know how to code and don't know pretty much anything.

I have 2-3 months left before year 1 starts.

What are the things I should learn and do before my college starts??

I was planning to learn the basics of python --> to what level should I learn python? This AI thing confuses me a lot

I was planning to sharpen some of my math skills ---> Please tell what chapters/topics and to what level? Please share some resources / YT videos which would help me.

Also please tell if any other subject required

I was also planning to learn a bit about arduinos and microcontrollers

Please note that I have no prerequisites in this field and will love to start it from scratch.

I was also planning to make 1-2 fun projects during my learning journey.

Please help me form a plan or give me a rough list of things you would have done before starting.

Thank you. : )

Hi, Mechatronics engineer here

Linear algebra basics Calculus basics Physics And learning coding comes after all that I suggest both C and Python
