$10

Learn the ropes

Your gift will keep our team fueled by covering the cost of lunch for one member as we race the boat at competition. A well-fed team is a well-performing team!

$25

Keep an even keel

Your contribution will help us acquire some of the necessary tools to make our design for the boat into a reality. Before we can hit the water, we have to hit the shop!

$50

Forge ahead

Your donation will provide us with the opportunity to race our boat at the Solar Splash competition in June by taking care of the registration fee. Help us share our work with the world beyond Cayuga Lake!

$100

Rock the boat

Your funds will help us safely transport our boat all the way from Ithaca to sunny Springfield, Ohio for the competition. We’ll make the boat, and you can help us get it where it needs to be in one piece!

$500

All hands on deck!

Your support will help us purchase the state-of-the-art solar panels needed for our boat’s sustainable design. After all, solar is our middle name! As a thank you, your name/ a name of your choice will be added onto our merch and vessel!

$1,000

Anchors aweigh!

Your assistance will allow us to execute one of the core pieces of our design — the foam that sits within the hull to keep the boat buoyant. Your contribution would, quite literally, float our boat! As a thank you, we will gladly put a visible logo and a name of your choice on our vessel!

$2,000

Aye, aye, Captain!

Your backing will grant us the resources we need to assemble the intricate drivetrain and steering system that keeps our boat moving forward — and in the right direction. Will you help us sail off into the sunset? In honor of your generosity, we would love to show our gratitude by showcasing your name or logo on our boat, offering you an encapsulated CUSB solar cell, and giving you the final say on our boat's name!
