@vi5halc I find this project interesting. Coming from one of the places with the least access to the internet and by extension the web, I am curious to see how this shapes out and how it can be scaled on these sides. I think it could be helpful for among others, teaching the elderly about the web and how to use it.
Do you have a vision/mission statement that would perhaps help us understand how this might play out?

vi5halc commented

Hello @Nefert. Thank you for taking interest in this project. You can find the vision/mission statement below:

"Working to create a curriculum to educate people about Internet and it’s concepts even in the absence of any connectivity, so that this basic knowledge can reach even in the most remote places in the world and make people understand internet, and in turn, the future better. "

Great project! How do you define web literate?

arc64 commented

This looks great! This is definitely something I would want to contribute to.

Here is some inspiration - resources for teaching CS concepts without connectivity

Vision statement for this project is great!

"Working to create a curriculum to educate people about Internet and it’s concepts even in the absence of any connectivity, so that this basic knowledge can reach even in the most remote places in the world and make people understand internet, and in turn, the future better. "

Some suggestions for concision / grammar:

We are working to create educational resources about the Internet and its concepts, even in the absence of any connectivity. Our goal is to convey basic knowledge about the Internet to people in the most remote places in the world, helping them to understand their role in shaping the Internet and, in turn, a better future.

@K8Krueger Thank you. A web literate according to me, is some one who has a fundamental knowledge about what is Internet, and the web for that matter, and how it works.

@arc64 Thank you so much for the awesome resource 😃

@seandiggity Thank you for the edit and making the Vision/mission statement more easy to understand. Appreciate it.
