Find something to learn

Start with something you want to explain, make, compare, or test.

Choose a specific question

Try “Why do cities get hotter than nearby land?” or “What makes a game mechanic satisfying?” A question helps you decide whether a source is useful.

Architecture can lead to materials science. Music can lead to acoustics. Environmental questions can lead to policy, data, and local history.

Keep one source, tool, challenge, or idea that you want to revisit.
