I would like to see some modules on RC electronics like electronic speed controllers, battery eliminator circuits, radio transmitters, using IoT communication to remotely control machines, programming microcontrollers to manage motor drives, pulse width modulation, etc.

Technicians and technologists may receive some training in how to build electronic systems, but engineers often don't get much training and the rest of the maker community gets zero.
Sensors and Connectors are great but seem like they're for people who already have some sort of idea what they're doing. I've never touched a board, let alone know what any of the parts are.

In my opinion you could start with simple things and, if you have fun you can move on to more and more complicated things. You could use an Arduino Nano and few sensors or, if you've never programmed, you could start with some NE555, CD40XX, LED, etc. to spend some pleasant hours. Explore this site and you will find hundreds of interesting, curious, funny projects!
