About Me

Welcome to FromStrawsToHair.com, a blog where I’m sharing my journey of learning to code and explore mechatronics, step by step. Created by me, Manana, this site started as a way for me to document my experiences and challenges as I dive into these fascinating topics. I’m a beginner too, and I know how overwhelming it can feel when you’re just starting out, so I aim to make learning coding and mechatronics accessible, fun, and manageable for everyone.

I believe that with curiosity and the right resources, anyone can learn to build incredible things. Through this blog, I want to inspire and support others who are on a similar learning path, offering simple guides, hands-on projects, and tips I’ve learned along the way. Join me as we figure it all out together, creating and experimenting as we go!
