The GitHub Student Developer Pack and GitHub Teacher Toolbox

We’re proud to partner with GitHub Education and offer Blackfire to students via the GitHub Student Developer Pack and to teachers via the GitHub Teacher Toolbox.

There’s no substitute for hands-on experience. But for most students, real-world tools can be cost-prohibitive.

The Pack and Toolbox give students and teachers free access to the best developer tools in one place so they can learn by doing.

Get Access to 40+ tools, for free!
