Green Silicon Valley

We bring free build days to schools the labs never reached, then fund the students who keep building. A 501(c)(3) run by teenagers.

Projects · Cohort 01

Watch this page fill up.

Cohort 01 is our first group of builders. Every project they ship publishes here: builder named, parts priced, outcome stated. Nothing on this page will ever be stock.

0Verified projects · live counter

No projects have shipped yet, and we won't pretend otherwise.

This counter stays empty until a real build is finished, evidenced, and verified. The day a student ships, it ticks to one, and every number here will be one you can check.

Here’s what every project will show.

We’d rather run an empty page than a fake one. When a build lands here, it lands whole. The same four things, every time. That’s the deal we’re making with you before the first one ships.

01

The builder

First name, age, city. A real kid who agreed to be named. No composites, ever.

02

The problem

What they were trying to fix, in their own words. Bad air in the classroom counts. So does a broken irrigation timer.

03

The parts

What it cost, line by line, down to the $6 ESP32 microcontroller.

04

What shipped

A working demo, or it doesn't publish. Outcome stated plainly, photos included.

48 teachers at 27 schools in 9 countries have asked us to come teach.

The first projects on this page come out of those classrooms. A workshop shows up, some kids can’t stop building, and the ones who keep going end up here.

The first build starts with $40 of parts.

A sensor, a microcontroller, a breadboard, a readout, and a battery. That's the $40 every project on this page will start with.
