## Opening Page **Object:** Spinning 3D Logo with animation, code attached (the background of the animation should seemlessly integrate the background color of the webpage -- should be the same color) OpenLearn Decentralize Education & Empower Self-Directed Learning Building a Space for Deep Thinking & Learning **Button**: (an arrow, links to the joining section) Reclaim Your Education While Schools Are Failing the Future ## Beliefs ### 1. Education should be decentralized Where we are -- **The prussian models and industrial needs** Education is centralized by schools, which are designed on the Prussian model for industrial needs, optimized for mass management and social engineering. Where we want to be -- **Self-empowerment & Self-directed learning** We propose a decentralized education model where every one is empowered to educate themselves through directly interacting with the world and learning driven by passion and action. ### 2. Social media is flawed Manipulative social media algorithms deprive you of room for deep thinking, sustained learning, and meaningful knowledge sharing, by optimizing for shallow interactions, virality, and dopamine-driven engagement. Instead of fostering conversation, it leads to polorization and fuels resentment. ## Mission & Vision OpenLearn aims to redefine the future of learning. --> Large, center, We aim to empower decentralized self-directed education by creating a space for deep learning. --> smaller, below Ultimatley, we seek to - empower every one to achieve their humanistic value through learning - accelerate the progress of human civilization through collective learning & sharing ## Community Philosophy - Decentralized Education - Learning in Public in the shape of two pillars, holding together "OpenLearn" on top ## Joining What do we offer - A space to share your learnings and learn from other people - A safe platform with no algorithm, where you have full control over your data and whose posts you see. - Community events and acitvities that encourage the sharing of learning - Access to high quality resources shared by other members of the community Joining means you commit to - Lifelong Self-directed Learning - Leaning in public -- share your achievements and failures - Contributing to building a safe and lively community Two bento boxes
