About

An AI GPU server is more than hardware—it's an opportunity. Your gift helps prepare students for the future of work.

At UCSC Silicon Valley Extension, we’re training the next generation of professional innovators—but to keep up with the pace of industry, our students need the right tools. That’s where you come in.

The Ask
This Spring Give, we’re raising funds for a high-performance AI GPU server—a supercharged tool that helps students train and test powerful AI models. If a regular computer is a bike, this is a rocket ship—built for real-world projects and hands-on learning that standard gear just can’t handle.

Local Roots, Global Reach
With this upgrade, students won’t just study the future—they’ll help shape it. Whether they’re designing ethical tech, reimagining classrooms with AI, or building smarter healthcare solutions, the impact begins right here.

Every Bit Counts (truly!)
These servers come with a hefty price tag. But the great news? We’re now just $6800 away from our goal. Your gift (of any amount!) will help us give students the experience they need to thrive in industry—and lead in the world.

Join us in building something big.

We are so grateful for your support!
