How to get GitHub Student Developer Pack?

#github#education#productivity

Github has collaborated with the tech industry to create a package that will include all the resources that a student needs while graduating. GitHub Education offers students real-world experience with free access to various developer tools from GitHub’s partners.

The Pack is open to every student 13 years or older👨‍🎓 in a degree-granting program. Most students apply for the Pack using their school-issued email address. However, students whose schools don’t provide email addresses are able to apply for the Pack using their dated student ID.
