Learned electronics in university, but definitely was able to work on projects in a small apartment later on. Had a small box of electronics stuff that can get put away. Arduino or various other microcontrollers, multimeter, breadboard, and a bunch of small parts (resistors, capacitors, ICs, LEDs, sensors, wires, etc). Having "lab" gear like an oscilloscope, signal generator is definitely nice but not needed to get started
