What were your first steps into creating?

Mine was when I first visited Leeds Hackspace, and I worked on a system to monitor the temperature/humidity of the Hackspace - how did you get started?

For me it was the 89C51 and PIC micro-controller programming. They were very popular in the university

The thing that got me back into electronics was the Netduino. (It's a .NET Microframework based microcontroller. Not a product I would recommend now, but suited me as a gateway drug then.)

The thing that got me into the rest of the "making" realm was a small CNC mill for making PCB. This then lead to a 3D printer, laser cutter, etc. (I also wouldn't recommend milling PCBs. I later moved to UV exposure and then just ordering from the usual board fabs.)
