# Intro Koios

*Koios is a community focused on learning. But we do not intend to replicate a digital university or learning platforms. **Instead, we intend to build a digital version of a schoolyard.** A lively and playful place bordering learning institutions but still well-connected with the fast-changing world. You learn and earn while playing. An environment where you come together to grow and build friendships for life.*

We are a DAO, a modern-day internet community focused on the ancient art of learning. Named after Koios, our aim is to revive this Titan of Knowledge, Intellect, and Inquisitive mind. To create a social place where you develop the capacity for a life full of learning. It is our dream to eventually realize 'Education as a Common': a world with free lifelong learning as a common good. 

### **A digital homeworld for Titans**

Koios is a social learning community for individual autonomy, mutually fulfilling friendships, and [conversation](https://www.kernel.community/en/learn/module-0/conversation/). We believe sharing is sacred. To support this mission, we are building an open-source environment equipped for learning in the 21st century. A place backed by a community of talented individuals called Titans. Connected via new technologies, but driven by ancient philosophies, Koios is a community of old in modern form. It is a place where people come to collectively learn, earn and return.
