Turn your old laptop into a child's classroom.
That laptop in your drawer has one more, far more important job in it. We'll wipe it, load LightBox, and place it where there's no school and no internet.
What we can — and can't — use
Only the one host server needs to be reasonably capable. Everything students connect with — phones, tablets, laptops — just needs a browser, because LightBox is fully mobile-friendly. So almost any working device helps.
What happens to your device
Securely wiped
Every drive is erased and certified. Your files never travel with it.
Loaded with LightBox
The full offline curriculum and AI helper are installed and tested.
Deployed
It goes to a community with no school nearby, via a local partner.
You hear back
We send you a note about where your device landed and who it serves.
Pledge a device
Tell us what you've got and we'll set up a time to meet. Right now we collect devices in person across the DFW area — shipping isn't available yet.
Rescued from a drawer, wiped clean, and reborn as an offline school for a whole community.
Retiring devices in bulk? Bringing LightBox to your community?
We work with companies, schools, refurbishers, and missionary partners to move devices at scale — and to place boxes where they'll be used and cared for.
Companies & schools
Offload a fleet of retired laptops responsibly. We handle certified wiping and give you a record for every unit.
Missionaries & field partners
Already serving a remote community? We'll equip you with a LightBox and the training to run it.
Refurbishers
Have working stock you'd otherwise recycle? Send it our way and we'll turn it into classrooms.
We don't accept financial donations yet.
The LightBox Project is brand new. Rather than ask for money before we can be fully accountable for it, we're starting with what we can put straight to work: devices, partnerships, and volunteers.
Funding to develop and expand the platform will open in the future, with the transparency a financial gift deserves.
