[GENERAL] Please provide here more information on the open source status of your project outputs

This educational content will be publicly available, however the website code that display this content will not be open-sourced.

[SOLUTION] Please describe your proposed solution

We are building a comprehensive Educational portal that links directly into applications on the Âtrium interface, meaning that users can find answers to questions, and easily get help understanding often complex topics.

Every tile in the Âtrium interface comes with a button that links to a beautifully animated motion graphics explainer video. These videos effortlessly explain Cardano concepts to users, ensuring that there are no areas for confusion across the interface. The content also comes in written format in case of reading preference.

The videos elegantly and simple break down advanced Cardano utility and functionality, making unfamiliar processes understandable whilst demonstrating how to engage with them.

We have already made 24 of these videos which are to be released on the educational platform inside Âtrium. However there are still numerous features and applications that require explanation and so we are proposing creating another 12 videos to help explain topics not yet covered.

[IMPACT] Please define the positive impact your project will have on the wider Cardano community

By placing our educational content right alongside each interactive item on Âtrium, it means that users can expand their knowledge on specific Cardano subject matter at the relevant time in their exploration of the Âtrium interface. Users don’t need to scroll through youtube, medium, or other long educational series to find answers they need, they can simply have a topic explained right as the find themselves asking the question. Our educational platform will be the simplest, most intuitive way for any user to gain confidence in using Cardano applications and features, whilst having a solid portal to recommend to friends and family who want to start their educational journey.

[CAPABILITY & FEASIBILITY] What is your capability to deliver your project with high levels of trust and accountability? How do you intend to validate if your approach is feasible?

We have already delivered 24 high quality educational motion graphic explainer videos which form the basis of the educational platform. Our videography work is always extremely well received by our community and we have decades of experience between us in producing animated content as well as extensive Cardano specific knowledge.

[PROJECT MILESTONES] What are the key milestones you need to achieve in order to complete your project successfully?

In the first milestone we'll deliver the first 6 scripts that will be made into explainer videos.

In the second milestone we'll deliver the first six videos, and six more scripts.

In this final milestone we'll deliver a close-out report, with the final six videos that were proposed.

[RESOURCES] Who is in the project team and what are their roles?

Peyton:  Âtrium Lab - Co founder

Ben:  Âtrium Lab - Co founder and Creative Director

Brian: Âtrium Lab - Lead Developer

Alex: Writer

Mike: Animator

[BUDGET & COSTS] Please provide a cost breakdown of the proposed work and resources

We estimate each video taking a total of 5 days to produce.

1 day to script and record voiceover, 1 day to storyboard, 5 days to animate. At a rate of 1015ada per day that gives us a budget of 7105ada per video.

12 x 7105ada = 85260ada

[VALUE FOR MONEY] How does the cost of the project represent value for money for the Cardano ecosystem?

The budget for each video is remarkably low for the level of animation production involved. With years of experience in this industry, this production cost is at a low supplier rate, and no agency could replicate these costs. To immortalize the core sets of Cardano skills need for new users, in accompaniment to a written article and demonstrations on how to do this means communicating across Visual, Auditory and Kinesthetic learning styles to embrace a large range of individuals educational needs.
