# Project Ideas
## Easy Onboarding ("normyboarding")
- NFT
- DAO
- DeFi
each topic above would have the same treatment, answering the questions grouped in 3 parts … per topic, so all three question groups for NFT, all three groups for DAO, etc
1. in 500-1000 words: `why` does this matter? why now? how am i supposed to think about it? how should i pay attention to / keep up with it?
2. in 500-1000 words: `what` can i do to try it? where do i use it? when do i use it? what should i even do with it? what are other people doing with it?
3. in 500-1000 words: `how` is it made exactly? how can i make it myself? where i can learn about how it’s made and how to make it? who makes it?
*part 1 would be some text and diagrams, maybe a brief 1-2 min
explainer video as alternative media to the text*
*part 2 would be a list of links to dApps to use, maybe a 30-60 second screen recorded walkthrough of buying an NFT on Paras or farming rewards on ref.finance*
*part 3 would be a list of links to sample code, courses that people could take, self-paced courses and facilitated courses, certifications, student testimonials, feedback, etc*
this has been a burning priority for a few months now so any help we can get on shipping this would be great
