$40 puts real hardware in a student’s hands.

Students never pay tuition — donors are why it’s free. Every dollar lands in a public ledger you can read.

$40 is a kit. $1,500 is a funded build.

Each amount is a thing we can name, not a price point.

  • $40

    One build kit

    Parts for one young builder to ship something real.

  • $120

    A full pathway

    Kit, curriculum, and a term of mentorship for one student.

  • $500

    A classroom workshop

    A hands-on build day for a whole classroom abroad.

  • $1,500

    A funded pitch project

    Back a standout team from idea to working build.

We’ll email you when your kit lands.

Your money becomes parts, the parts reach a student, and you hear about it — that’s the deal. If you back a pitch grant, you hear when the build demos too.

Green Silicon Valley is a registered 501(c)(3), so your donation is tax-deductible and your receipt arrives by email. Checkout runs on Stripe’s hosted page — we never see or store your card.
