DIY-U as an unincorporated association



An unincorporated association is the simplest form of a non profit organization. DIY University is an unincorporated association. My research has shown that unincorporated associations can grow into international organizations and that they can be turned into for profit ventures too.

Here's what nolo.com says about unincorporated associations.

What happens, legally speaking, when a group of people get together and decide to perform some task without filing any legal paperwork or establishing any formal legal structure? Whether they know it or not, they have formed an unincorporated association. Unincorporated association means an unincorporated group of two or more persons joined by mutual consent for a common lawful purpose, whether organized for profit or or not.

Linder Myers solicitors on unincorporated associations.

There are many situations where a group of individuals come together to further a common aim or interest such as a sporting or other social activity, educational or community improvement.

( I purposely underlined part of the sentence above. DIY-U is an educational project which aims to have a positive impact on education as a whole. )

Brookes Pierce and unincorporated associations.

The may include collectives and online communities. There's no end to them: groups with common purposes that are not incorporated.

(My analysis of the sentence above: DIY-U is an online community. We may form physical world 'brick and mortar' groups too, in the future. Unincorporated associations may influence off shoot unincorporated associations or they may just transform over the course of time.)

Here's a youtube video on unincorporated associations.

WCK 7 is made up of industrial goods connected to each other. There are 10 pieces that make up this unique and useful product. In the video below, you can also see the neodymium magnet that's connected to a hexagonal nut. The keyring can be placed onto this end piece as you can see in the photo below. 

My independent study in Math/s

  When I was growing up, I had a phobia of sorts for maths. In the UK, we call it maths. My maths skills started to improve when I had started junior college. I have decided to start my own independent study of maths. I have ongoing health issues. However, I will do what I am capable of doing. As self directed learning plays a huge part in DIY-U, I will find the necessary resources and I will teach myself. I will evaluate my learning. I am not interested in gaining a certificate or certificates for my maths studies. There are many self taught mathematicians in history. I am not saying I want to become a mathematician. However, I do want to improve my skills in this subject. I will conduct my studies at my own pace and I will most likely continue with the practice until I decide to end the self initiated learning project of my own creation. Here is one of the solutions I have created as a result of my explorations in math/s. http://www.projecttheremoteinfluencer.org/2020/02/succes...

Aero skittles is the name of the new sport I have invented

I have invented a new and creative sport. Aero skittles is the name of this new sport. Google gemini has helped with the name choice for this sport. I am impressed with Google gemini. The original name I was going to use was, disc skittles. I'd entered this data into Google gemini's website This is how they then came up with quite a few choices. I went with their Aero skittles name as it fits in with what the sport is all about.
