I have been wanting to do some educational stuff. my primary reason is to revisit stuff that i have learned and am forgetting, and additionally documenting it better so i can reference it in future. I am targetting more for under grad/grad level stuff. Topics would be mostly what i have studied - engineering, material science (thermo, properties, physics, synthesis, structure and shape, charecterisation, etc), maths, physics (mechanics, optics, qm, quantum optics), simulations, biochemistry (beginner), and more. I also may occasionally do some tech related stuff.

I can by myself restudy all this. but thing is that I am lazy and easily distracted. It would be great if i can cover stuff with someone (in interactive manner).

Why do I not find some kinda study buddy irl - I do not know how to do that.

Why I am hesitant/or have not started yet - it is because primarily laziness, and alsothat tons already exist. there is online college courses, which are better than what i could ever produce. I am also not a entertaining kind, and not that good of teacher, so i do not know what i can potentially add to what is existing.

I have also thought of doing some other medium. For example website. I already do maintain one repository of sorts, by my irl identity. but i do not see anyone randomly stumbling on it. I can also record lectures, and post them somewhere, but then I am definitely not doing anything better than any institute.
