Organize learning resources in one place
Zoonk 👩💻👨💻📚
Bringing the best learning resources to everyoneWhat is Zoonk?
Zoonk is a free, open-source website for sharing learning resources. We want to make easier for everyone to learn something new and understand how to use their knowledge in everyday life.
Why is it important?
Our educational system didn't change much since the Industrial Revolution. We're just memorizing information to pass exams. That's why most people find schools boring and they don't understand how to apply school-based knowledge to everyday life.
We're already seeing the consequences: a wave of fake news and science deniers because people aren't interested in learning anymore. In the next decades, we'll face another challenge: most people won't be prepared for the challenges presented by automation.
We need to encourage people to acquire lifelong learning skills and make it easier for everyone to understand how complex topics (e.g. scientific concepts) are useful in their lives. Our goal is to bring good learning experiences to the common folk who wouldn't have an opportunity to get a high-quality education, preparing them for an ever-changing society.
In the long-term, we should make learning as easy and fun as playing a video game or posting a selfie on social media.
