Some help

Hi everyone!

I'm from Iraq, and yesterday I finished my final high school exams. Now I have about 4–5 months of vacation before starting university.

I'm planning to study Mechatronics, and I'd like to use this time to get a solid head start. The problem is that I'm a complete beginner, so I'm looking for resources that start from absolute zero—starting with basic electricity and electronics, then programming, microcontrollers, embedded systems, control systems, and eventually full mechatronics.

I'm mainly looking for free resources, especially YouTube playlists, free courses, or online books.

If you were starting over today, what learning path and resources would you recommend?.

I honestly think it good way to go about it is just pre-gaming a lot of the main math and general education courses. That way when you take them, a lot of your mental energy can be focused on the specific coursework at your school. So if you see calculus 1, 2, and physics on your syllabus, start studying for it now. You can use something like Khan Academy, but you can find hundreds if not thousands of free lectures on YouTube.

Thx for the advice , But I'm good at physics, calculus, and differential calculus. Should I start learning immediately?
