Unlock industry-standard AI tools for free.
As a student at the International Space University, you are eligible for the GitHub Student Developer Pack. This is critical because it gives you free access to tools that usually cost money.
Usually $10/month. The Student Pack makes it free. This is your primary AI coding partner.
Run VS Code in the browser with high-power cloud compute. Useful if your laptop is slow.
Have your ISU Student ID card ready to take a picture, or be ready to log in to your student portal to prove enrollment.
