Video Tutorials & Learning
Want to make a fidget spinner? How about storm trooper cookies? VideoJug has tutorials on loads of different subjects.
From maths to social work, you’ll find something to interest you here.
A list of video learning sites would not be complete without Ted. Talks by experts on subjects ranging from job interviews to why ambitious women have flat heads (I kid you not, this video was featured on the front page of Ted as I wrote this!).

Their own description is this: You can learn anything. For Free. For everyone. Forever. I think that pretty much sums it up!
7. Free Fitness Training Programs.

DIY & Skills
Pretty much has a “how to” on everything. Crafts, repair, food and drink. There are even guides on how to make an ice cream social. Should you be so inclined.
Have a broken camera? How about a video game console or a phone screen? Usually, this would necessitate a repair or a replacement. But before you do that, head on over to iFixit. They have guides on how to fix just about anything electronic. And most of the time it’s a lot easier than you think.
Another great resource for how to’s. From lowering blood pressure, making recipes and cutting your hair, there’s a guide for it.
I love this site. It’s so well laid out. You can find help with making costumes, woodworking, electronics and more.
This site is for “hacking” electronics. So that Raspberry Pi you got and haven’t done anything with? Now’s the time to have some fun with it.
I enjoy reading this. It has all sorts of tips and tricks you might not have ever even considered you might need to know.
Great DIY projects ranging from leather working, electronics and woodworking.
