[SOLUTION] Please describe your proposed solution

This project builds on what was already done here:

https://linktr.ee/cardanofornontechs

After gathering interest through our socials within and outside of Cardano,

we will run cohorts of end-users through engaging and participant-driven worshops:

• As per and improving on our sillabus from previous iterations
• Using Miro board to organize concepts and accumulate knowledge
• Feed back to the community with bite-sized knowledge share on our socials

Create a space to exchange our experiences using Cardano dApps:

• Start a directory of end user apps (focusing on Web3, not DeFi)
• Gather feedback from end-users that we can route to apps

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

We propose to create awareness and ease of use of Cardano, while gathering feedback to share with dApps.
