If you are looking to hone your skills you can learn everything from 3D printing to Cooking with free Instructables courses. Once you've taken a course, you can browse the thousands of projects uploaded by other Makers just like you. 

When you've had some practice, you can create a free account and upload an Instructable of your own, and even enter contests.
