How can I find a community?

How can I find a community?

You know, one of the things that you can miss if you're not going to school is that kind of classroom setting or that social aspect. So, one of the things I do recommend to people is to get involved in a community, be it an online forum or an online community of some kind, or a live in person one. More and more cities have hackspaces that are cropping up that are amazing places to find community of people who like to make and build stuff. And they like to tinker with things and kind of get into things. And you know, I know, some fantastic people in hackspaces who are really generous with their time and knowledge in terms of sharing what they know, be it code or be it, you know, how to build a synthesizer out of parts you found in a dumpster. So, I really recommend, you know, finding a group of people that you feel comfortable with and who are open to being asked questions and, and also, that encourage you to share back what you've learned so that you're, you know, really participating.
