The
Effect
<goto>’s aims are to excite, engage, empower and enlighten.
The <goto> Foundation aspires to rebrand computer science, raise public awareness and knowledge of technology, and enable everyone to use, benefit from and enjoy the powerful computing systems in our lives today. The <goto> Foundation will catalyse rapid change in these areas, through direct strategic action. We want to bring together existing projects, people and organisations working in this field – we’re not reinventing the wheel – and <goto> will collaborate and connect groups with the individuals and resources they need to operate most effectively. At the same time, <goto> is attempting something new and unique – to raise the profile of technology with the general public through national scale campaigns and events, taking computer science outreach beyond schools and making it relevant to people’s everyday lives.
