I want to start building stuff and getting the hang of both coding and mechanical engineering / electrical engineering skills.. I want to start learning little stuff now, that will help me later on with my main goal of becoming an aerospace engineer. I don’t know where to start though, I don’t know what to build, how to start getting familiar with mechanical parts, with coding, etc. I’m 16 and homeschooled. I want have projects to work on hands on, I really do think it will help me with getting to understand how everything works, seeing it in my hands instead of in a YouTube lesson. Do you guys have any ideas or suggestions?

What University is the best to study aerospace/ astronautics? And what are the requirements to get in?

I’m trying to decide the best set up for my future as I’m currently in High School, my goal is to work in NASA. I want to build spacecrafts and anything space related. I’m trying to find the best setup so I can start getting familiar with what I’ll be learning in college as I don’t want to jump into it blindly. I have a 3.73 GPA in school and I want to fully focus on starting to prepare for my future, but for that I need to know exactly what I want to minor in. I know for sure I’m gonna major in aerospace. But for minor’s I’m not sure.. can someone please help me out?
