Welcome to the Make community!
That’s an excellent idea! When I started using Make last year, I set a goal to complete all the tutorials in the Make Academy within a month. I wish more users completed the Make Academy first, as there are a lot of questions asked about stuff that are already covered in the courses.
Simple. Simply help out others on this forum like the rest of us! You’ll definitely learn more as you search the Help Centre and figure things out in a sandbox scenario (like what I’m currently doing).
Some examples of my sandbox scenarios:
For more information on this forum, see 📚 Mastering the Make Community: Get Started. You can also help answer more Make questions in the Discord server, which is linked on my profile.
Here are some useful links and guides you can use to learn more on how to use the Make platform, apps, and app modules. I found these useful when I was learning Make, and hope they might benefit you too —
