It shows the things that other creative people have built based of iconic tech that you have seen in movies and on different programs on TV which could inspire a person to make their own creation in the future.
(Adobe Illustrator)
Adobe illustrator is another good software that can be used for things such as 2D vector drawings. and many other digital assets. I have learned a lot about many different software's throughout the week while looking through the units thoroughly and they all seem to be very good for people looking for these types of platforms, some are obviously more advanced than others but the upside to this is that you can start of simple and then upgrade as you become more knowledgeable with the material.
(Robotic products)
Today I learned about robotic products and electrical engineering. There are many variations of robotic products such as industrial robots, controllers, AI machinery and many more, some of these different products are used by different companies in order to manufacture other products on a more efficient larger, faster scale for the best lucrative results. You can also invent your own robotic products obviously and make profit from that too, but the market for this is primarily for individuals within the DIY community.
(Inkscape)
Another free platform that is kind of similar to blender but is just a little less advanced and more basic. Specifically, it is a free vector drawing software, you use various lines and curves and can cut it out when printed. From personal experience I would recommend this platform software for anyone that wants to begin simpler as a start off for art, I have used this software many times in the past for college projects and it does work well for creating basic drawings and visuals.
(Blender)
Blender is a great free and open 3D graphic software that can be used as a tool for creating animation, visual effects, art, video games and most relevantly, 3D printed models. I got the chance to see people demonstrate by way of mostly tutorial videos, what is the platform, how does it work and how to use it most efficiently to your personal desire, it looks like a very cool tool, and I definitely would encourage anyone who is especially interested in profiting of art to take a look at it.
(3d printing)
Today I learned that using a 3d printer to make money can be very profitable, 3d printers are considered one of the biggest technological advancements of our time. This device can work as kind of like a micro-factory, allowing the user to edit their designs and print new revisions of their product almost instantly most of the time. This item could be very efficient for starting your own business and is definitely worth looking into, especially for artist.
(Scams)
It is very important to beware of scams, especially online scams nowadays due to the transition that was caused by the pandemic. Once it comes to scams, its paramount to always do things such as always read the fine print of every opportunity and be cognitive of things that sound like it ''too good to be true''. There are many various types of scams like identity theft scams, ad scams and work from home scams. I'm glad that stuff like this is brought to attention by the Techie Youth units because no one wants to lose money that they worked hard for.
(Selling courses online)
Especially due to the problems that the pandemic caused, online education has become more common worldwide in order for people to further their knowledge on things that they may want to do for their career in the long run.

The thing about producing music is that someone that is not familiar with it or knows anything about what it entails would think that it is some overly complicated process to do it and perhaps a person would need an extensive amount of equipment and what not. According to the unit, this is not the case at all, in today's world, it can be done independently on a computer with little to no outside assistance or hassle, one person can do themselves.
