Learn concepts at different levels of abstraction and explore relationships between them.

This project is a side project/ experiment.
The objective is as follows:

• support self directed learning via the user journey of figuring out what is the concept you want to learn while searching for resources.
• encourage metacognition by presenting the concept map first and encouraging users to explore/ search in terms of concepts.
