the weight of light

We need your help bringing the interactive climate-education elements of the weight of light to life!

The Weight of Light is an arc between the shadows of how we currently power our world and the brilliance of how we might transform it — a massive lightning bolt surrounded by 8 fallen lightning shards, each an interactive micro-world that follows the journey of young Ari as he discovers our collective power to reimagine a future of climate hope and environmental regeneration.

To bring these 8 worlds to life, we are keeping our books 100% open and raising $3,359 to cover our specialized interactive electronics, hardware, and fabrication materials. Every component is created exclusively for nonprofit climate education, never for commercial profit.

We are using our PayPal Giving Fund instead of Kickstarter so we don't lose ~8% to platform fees. Because we are a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit, 100% of your donation goes directly toward these educational elements with zero platform fees—and every single dollar is tax-deductible.

We don't have an all-or-nothing target. Literally every dollar directly reimburses a real receipt and builds the art:

• $25 buys specialized 3D printing filament for a micro-world.

• $50 funds a touch sensor or interactive plasma ball.

• $100 covers the LED controllers and custom wiring for a scene.

• $250 fully sponsors the components for an infinity mirror shard.
