Summary

GitHub has launched education.github.com, a platform aimed at enhancing educational experiences by integrating GitHub into school environments. This initiative supports students, teachers, and schools globally by facilitating collaborative learning and development. With a long-standing history of offering educational discounts, the platform formalizes these benefits by providing free Micro accounts to students and teachers, free organization accounts for classroom use, and a 25% discount for other educational purposes. To access these benefits, interested users must verify their school-issued email address and apply through the new site. This effort underscores GitHub's commitment to empowering the next generation of developers.
