If you get something going it just means to start doing whatever it is.
Same meaning as "get this started" "get it moving" etc.
"Are you excited for the party later?"
"Yeah! Let's get this thing going!"

Ah I see. it'd be more like "Get that energy moving", but I think what they mean is "Get excited" or similar.
It's more of a phrase telling you to keep it up and (in this context) keep your energy/passion to learn high.
