What is Coolest Projects?

About the Raspberry Pi Foundation

The Raspberry Pi Foundation is an independent, global charity with the mission to enable all young people to realise their full potential through the power of computing and AI.

Our vision is that every young person develops:

  • The knowledge and skills to use computers and advanced technologies like AI in their working, community, and personal lives, empowering them to solve problems and express themselves creatively.
  • The ability to critically evaluate digital technologies and their application, and to design and use technology for good.
  • The mindsets to engage confidently with technological change, and the confidence to decide for themselves what role they want technology to play in their lives.

We want everyone who takes part in Coolest Projects to feel like they belong in computing and come away with improved confidence and an enthusiasm to keep creating things with technology.
