So I put something together, based on what I do daily. It's still very raw, and will have to be "fine-tuned" over the next days/weeks. Your feedback is welcome to make this something useful:

On 18th this month, as an activity of the camp, learners were asked to give a input on what they would like to preserve and cherish as a knowledge for future. A virtual Knowledge Tree was made to receive and store the live inputs from the learners in its leaves.

Tree leaves were filled with varied and highly interesting inputs from learners after the activity. The Knowledge Tree with learner inputs from the activity can now be explored at - https://tree.fsci.in/free-software-camp-2020.html
