Go is a 3,000 year old game that’s as intriguing today as ever - simple enough for a child to play, yet only recently mastered by AI. Learning to play Go develops flexible thinking and parallel problem-solving. A game of Go is a wordless conversation between two players: the mutual construction of a puzzle as easy or as complex as the players make it.
The American Go Foundation is dedicated to promoting Go in the U.S. With our support, thousands of American children have learned Go in hundreds of schools, libraries and community centers across the country. We also provide scholarships and resources for youth who play Go, and we support Go in institutional settings such as prisons, and senior centers.
"My faculty and I firmly believe in the value of engaging students through hands-on, minds-on learning, and the game of Go falls perfectly in the realm of stimulating learning experience. "
