Check out my Learn KiCad 8 video youtu.be/SFJRHFMOhQA
This video is designed for people who know virtually nothing about KiCad to get their feet wet with a complete project from start to finish. It's not designed to teach you every single thing you ever need to know about PCB design, but it will get you started.
I tried to keep the video short, so if you find that it moves too quickly, you can always adjust the playback speed.
For more in depth coverage of each of the topics in this video (and more) I recommend checking out youtube.com/watch?v=szu8dJoyikA&list=PLn6004q9oeqGl91KifK6xHGuqvXGb374G for some beginner-friendly content.

*These ratchets are great in general and they're what I used, but they're not made for this purpose. I hot glued a bit into a 1/4" socket (my wife's idea) and it worked great. If you don't think you'll use the the ratchets for other socket-related things, just get the non-ratcheting bit holder.

A quick note. I have used all 3 of these extensively. When you look at the amazon reviews, it seems like there are very few reviews per product an often low reviews seem to be from people who seem to be using other USB/power cables or may not know what they're doing. Just my 2 cents. This video is not sponsored in any way.
