Try looking up videos from an old PBS show called “This Old House”. There should be lots of videos up on Youtube. The hosts are professional contractors and each season they rennovate an old house and use it as a way to teach the viewers how to do proper repairs. They also have tutorials on plumbing, wiring, etc.
You can also try getting an Arduino or Raspberry Pi and start trying to use them for random tinkering projects. There’s plenty of examples and walkthroughs on Adafruit’s websites for examples. That being said, you might need to look up guides on some different skills like soldering, but that’s thr benefit - the projects get you to learn new skills.
Sorry if this doesn’t directly address your request to learn resourcefulness, but there’s a point to it. In my opinion, gaining a broader skillset via DIY projects helps with being resourceful, as you’re equipped with more tools to apply to a given problem.
Seconding the home lab / micro controler project. A bit of research and you can get most things (especially shitty IOT crap off amazon) to dump their firmware and let you go digging around in usually lazy code. (A friend and I took apart an automated water bowl for a cat the other day, took a few hours, but we now have the tools and know what to search for on the next time someones shitty internet enabled fish feeder dies)
The reason is that in [current year], knowing stuff is great, but knowing where to find the info you need is more important. Thats why AI is taking off like it is. Its users ask in plain text for answers to things, the resourceful people only use that as a tool to find what they need not the complete answer(Also keep good notes. So you only have to find something once).
