Hi! I'm Marc (marxkemp)
Tinkering, or figuring out how something works just by poking at it for a while, is a pretty time-honored technique.
Tinkering is often thought of a lot like doodling. Mindlessly playing around with things certainly can't help you learn, right? Research in the science of learning shows that hands-on building projects help young people conceptualize ideas and understand issues in greater depth.
As pretty much anyone who has tinkered around inside a computer knows, sometimes you just have to poke at it until you understand what's going on.

My Experience
-
For me, the best way to learn is to have something practical that I want to build and teach myself how to do it.
You learn by failing, which is usually the best way to learn because failure helps make things sticky.
And it's fun as hell.
