Donate Your Computer's Spare Power
Folding@home turns your idle computer into a tiny supercomputer for disease research on cancer, Alzheimer's, and more. You install a free program, and when you are not using your machine it quietly runs simulations for scientists. It is a set-it-and-forget-it way to contribute to real research from home.

“Loved this one — the organizer had everything set up before we arrived and explained exactly what we'd be doing. It ran about 30 minutes long, which caught a few of us off guard, so plan for that. Would definitely come back.”
💡 Bring closed-toe shoes and a water bottle — it gets warm.
