you arent

The buzzer is kinda not very polished, so I don't want to release it to be open source. However, if you just want to see the stuff like code, CAD, and circuit design, they're all available on my github account (github.com/Epicotch/Wireless-Buzzers/tree/master )

The most important thing is to know when to take a break. Almost none of my projects were all done in one sitting - instead, when things got hard or I started losing interest, I took short, measured breaks to avoid burnout. I did this fairly often, so that I didn't have to take a long break that would hinder my motivation to return to the project.

Yes for me, I had to work ever since I turned 17. Even during college I worked not only to pay for myself but had to send money to help my parents with the bills. I guess some people are just lucky but this guy is also very smart. Smarter than me by a lot tbh.

This comment shows you have a victim mindset

yea fr i feel like i was at a massive disadvantage

rich supportive parents

@@Edgeinx yeah not to take away from this dudes (incredible) achievements, but money and support from parents goes a long way in stuff like this.

@@Edgeinx fr

If you do a lot of googling you usually find that the parents of mit grads have technical skills of their own.

@@danmckstwexkrpfe or also went to MIT lmao. So many of my classmates were under immense pressure from their parents. Lots of mental breakdowns in banana.

Kids like this usually come out naturally, there might not be a pathway.. find things bursting in your mind that you want to make, gather resources especially to convince parents that it worth doing & gain their support, do it and never give up.

@@user-xj6jh5ms5u didnt help at all

because he will be class of 2028 in college

Glad you're interested! I learned most things through the internet - KZbin, DigiKey, etc. have fantastic guides on electrical engineering. I also did an internship over the summer pertaining to E&M. Finally, if your school offers AP Physics, particularly Electricity and Magnetism, you can take those classes to get a start.

thank you @@TheThemeParkTyconist

@@TheThemeParkTyconist Everyone says <I learned most things through the internet > but never provide any sources. Just KZbin. Amidst millions of videos, can you expect a newbie fallin onto some actual helpful resources? Im just askin for some precise sources.

@@MayankXOR It's hard to pin down precise sources that I learned this from, but a few things I found useful was Carl Bugeja's channel, BPS.space's series on designing the Blip and Blop boards, and the Art of Electronics by Paul Horowitz. There's also enough stuff on the internet that if you just search "electronics tutorial" you should be able to pick up quite a few things.

remember; they are always listening

hey you think you can help me with some shit?

lowkey doesn't matter if he can do this much insane stuff

@@wuke2488I don’t understand why y’all think he did everything by himself. I mean if my parents were engineering and helped me and do the project who’s gonna say I didn’t do it? So I think SAT and GPA is important

@@hispantrapmusic301 What you hating for lol. His projects are very doable by himself and with the curiosity he has. While they are important, SAT is a greater measure of studying than intelligence and GPA can get overinflated at many schools. For elite institutions like MIT, what you do that isn't quantified by grades and numbers is more valued than anything.

@@wuke2488 idk but you know lol. That's funny. I'm not hating I'm asking a question, how do an admission officer know if he did by himself. Rich people have paid for SAT scores etc.. So how do I know this guy did it by himself. Studying is easy and people still choose to cheat. I'm not downplaying what he did is js asking. You can't be sure. Not hating cause I had never had the opportunity to go there and I'm not from the states either

@@hispantrapmusic301 Oh ok, it makes sense since your not from the states. You are right though, you can't be sure. That's why MIT does these maker videos to give applicants a shot at proving they know what they're talking about and showcasing themselves instead of bragging with words on a paper. And mostly, admission officers have to rely on the honors system that applicants have done the things they said, unless they are outlandish claims like sending a rover to Jupiter. At the end of the day, admissions in the US is such a gamble and a lottery. There are so many qualified applicants for not enough top spots so luck is also a big factor. The admissions game is just not fair from all aspects and that's sadly just the way it is.
