## Why free DeFi courses?
Main reason for developing these courses are
1) Personal interest in DeFi
2) DeFi will be the global financial system
3) Has a lot of innovation that needs to be shared

## What will funds be used for
We want DoDAO Academy to be a pure DAO. i.e. community teaches community. 

These funds will be used to kickstart the DAO.

## How much funds do we already have?
We got 1 ETH in Public Goods Round 5.  Thank you for that!

Grants are very well needed to make progress.

Free DeFi Courses and Sessions

Projects eligible for the Public Goods small grants rounds have a broader scope that benefits the entire Ethereum or Web3 space.

Applicable projects should not be ENS-specific but may include ENS functionality. An example is etherJS, a developer library that has utility throughout Web3, not only for those building with ENS.
