Anyway, since I am too from Poland I will just add that tinkering with hardware and electronics is still popular here. We have at least 2 paper magazines dedicated to electronics. One of them (https://elportal.pl/ https://elportal.pl/) tries really hard to make the hobby popular again. They provide a lot of free learning material and free access to some of the articles and DIY projects. It's a great resource for teenagers. Example project (schematics are international, so don't be bothered by Polish): https://ep.com.pl/projekty/miniprojekty/11310-nadajnik-am https://ep.com.pl/projekty/miniprojekty/11310-nadajnik-am - an AM transmitter based on logic gates.
Now, more of a local curiosity is this YT channel (only in Polish unfortunately): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ua8ZrITVucY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ua8ZrITVucY One of the guys looks like he is drunk (maybe he really is). The guys speak about vacuum tube technology, make tube radios from scratch (make the tubes, resistors and capacitors themselves) and explain how old tech works.
From this channel I learned about https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vidicon https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vidicon - which is a tube that was used in 50s to record video signal.
Interesting thing is that electronics generally is not learned at school, there is a subject called "technology" (or at least where when I was a pupil). Most of the people interested in it learned on their own...
