Hello, I am trying to figure out a independent variable that I can manipulate having to do with motivation or learning in a 2x2 design. I’m trying to find something that is not school focused as I need more flexibility in gathering participants and don’t know many people.
It is for a school project and I’ve spent days researching trying to come up with something. Any help is greatly appreciated!

This your question is not specific. If you want an experiment that demands 2x2 you will need two independent variables with two levels each.
Basically you can use any scale variables by dichotomizing them, e.g. previous knowledge (high/low) x interest in topic (high/low). These both would serve as your independent variables, that determine your dependent (measured) one, e.g. mean of learning outcome.
However, without any clue of your research question, the examples are just a good guess about how your design might look like.
You can consider any two variables that predict learning e.g. scores on a standardized or IQ if available, grit(Angela Duckworth, the power of passion and perseverance available on Libby), interest in the subject, motivation to learn, teacher and dichotomies them and use a 2x2 factorial design With learning as the dependent variable. You can analyze it by using R which you can download free.
