Broadening education to include life skills even after school

Knowledge is power, but many of the things that most matter to people in everyday life are not taught in classes at school. Education isn't limited to math, science, and reading, but to find courses on certain life skills can be virtually impossible for many adults.

I have this challenge

the problem

Having a free online learning platform that lets anyone create or take a course on any topic, from academic subjects to how-to guides, from rewiring your house to dancing the Tango can help continue education on useful life skills into adulthood. Existing content can be anywhere on the web, but hunting down a proper tutorial can be costly or time consuming. Condensing verified resources and requests for help on certain subjects to one platform can help streamline education in subjects often neglected.
