# DirectEd Lions Litepaper

**This lite paper** documents the DirectEd Lions - the two digital art collections of Lions created to support the fundraising efforts of the [DirectEd Development Foundation](https://directed.dev/) ( 'DirectEd Fnd'), a non-profit with charitable status in the US as a 501(c)3.

The Lions Collection Digital Art Collection represents the community aspect of DirectEd's work and we've tried to keep this as 'lite' as possible.

### About DirectEd Fnd 

DirectEd Development Foundation is the charitable sister-organisation of DirectEd Development (directed.dev). As such, we share the mission to support evidence-based, highly scalable and cost-effective coding programmes. The main focus of the foundation is our provision of **Access Scholarships** so that under-resourced but high-potential students can partake in the coding courses and programs offered by DirectEd Development. 

### A Living Document

Our intention is to have this document evolve over time as the community takes part in the co-creative process. The *DirectEd Lions* lore and utilities will evolve over time!
