01 — STUDY
Go Deep
Spend focused time understanding a technical subject, principle, system or problem.
The HOTS Method
The objective is not merely to consume knowledge. The objective is to transform serious study into a tangible contribution.
02 — THINK
Find the Connection
Ask how the concept connects with a real system, problem, learner or engineering application.
03 — BUILD
Create a Deliverable
Produce something new: code, a model, diagram, simulation, experiment, dataset or resource.
04 — SHARE
Make it Useful
Document and publish the work so another learner, teacher or engineer can benefit from it.
HOTS Contributions
A chronological record of things created through rigorous technical study.
HOTS-001 → The journey begins here.
HOTS-LA-001: Matrix Systems Explorer
An interactive browser-based tool for representing, analysing, classifying and solving systems of linear equations using fundamental concepts from Linear Algebra can be found here.
HOTS-002: Network Foundations Explorer
Network Foundations Explorer is an interactive web-based learning deliverable created after studying the introductory concepts of Computer Networks & can be found here.
HOTS-003: The Internet Core & Layering
HOTS-003 is an interactive web-based learning deliverable designed to explore two fundamental ideas in Computer Networking & can be found here.
The HOTS Standard
- Rigorous: The deliverable should emerge from serious study and genuine understanding.
- Original: It should add a useful explanation, implementation, model, experiment or perspective.
- Practical: Whenever possible, it should connect theory with the real world.
- Open: The work should be documented clearly enough for others to learn from or reuse.
- Compounding: Every HOTS should strengthen the next one.
