Github offers more than 100 FREE tools for students

The Github Student Development Pack guarantees you access to various tools, whether for design, game development, infrastructure and APIs, mobile, security and analysis, marketing, IoT and Cloud, productivity, free domains and also has learning platforms, for absolute beginners.


"Is that serious, Lucas?"
Yeah, there is no catch. You can see it on the official website of the program: https://education.github.com/students
In addition to giving you access to so many platforms, you also earn the PRO badge on github, while you are a student!

To qualify for student benefits, you must:

  • Be currently enrolled in a degree or diploma granting course of study such as a high school, secondary school, college, university, homeschool, or similar educational institution.
  • Have a verifiable school-issued email address or upload documents that prove your current student status.
  • Have a GitHub user account.
  • Be at least 13 years old.

Github's objective in doing so is to empower and improve the community of young developers, who in various corners of the world, are unable to pay for such services out of their own pocket, either because of the political and economic condition of the country in which they reside or financial of their families.

A colleague from college told me about the student package. The next day I applied for it and it has been a year since I have learned a lot with all the tools they give you. It's a great way to support the growing developer guild.

Yeah, with this pack I opened my company and I have 3 employees. All marketing content is done with Canva PRO, for example. I wish that more devs discover this😁
