Autodesk Makes Design Software Free to Schools Worldwide

**Public Company Information:** NASDAQ: ADSK **LAS VEGAS – (BUSINESS WIRE)** – In line with its commitment to broaden access to professional-grade design software within the education sector, **Autodesk, Inc.** (NASDAQ: ADSK) has announced that it will offer its top-tier design, engineering, and entertainment software free of charge* to students, educators, and academic institutions globally. This initiative opens up opportunities for more than 680 million students and educators across 800,000 secondary and post-secondary schools in 188 countries to utilize Autodesk's professional tools and services both in classrooms, labs, and at home. “Today’s methods of production are evolving rapidly, and we need a workforce equipped to design for emerging manufacturing and construction techniques,” said Carl Bass, CEO of Autodesk. “By offering free professional design tools to students, faculty, and institutions worldwide, we’re ensuring that industries are prepared for what lies ahead.” Building on its earlier announcement of free software for U.S. academic institutions as part of President Obama’s ConnectED initiative, Autodesk has steadily extended this benefit to institutions throughout Asia-Pacific and Europe. As a pioneer in 3D design, engineering, and entertainment software, Autodesk is also aiding schools in transitioning to cloud-based platforms by providing full suites of cutting-edge cloud solutions, like the **A360 collaboration platform**, along with complimentary maintenance subscriptions. Young minds are already embracing these tools to push the boundaries of creativity and innovation. For instance, students as young as 13 are utilizing **Fusion 360** to conceptualize and 3D-print prosthetic devices, while university teams are employing **BIM 360 Glue** to develop environmentally sustainable homes. These tools empower students to solve real-world problems in ways that mirror professional practices. Karen Kaun, founder of Makeosity, shared: “Our students are designing an Energy Scooter using Fusion 360 and preparing to launch it on Kickstarter—all while still in 8th grade! If we can integrate more design-centric learning into curriculums, engaging students with hands-on engineering projects, we’ll inspire them to see how STEM subjects can lead to innovative careers.” To support educators in integrating these powerful tools into their teaching, Autodesk provides free, project-based learning materials such as the **Digital STEAM Workshop** and **Design Academy**. Neelie Kroes, former Vice-President of the European Commission, expressed her enthusiasm: “Closing the digital divide begins with equipping schools with the same advanced technologies professionals use today. By giving European schools access to Autodesk’s professional design software, we’re fostering design thinking, empowering digital natives with essential tools, and preparing the workforce of tomorrow to meet modern economic demands.” For further details or to apply for free educational access to Autodesk software, visit [http://www.autodesk.com/education](http://www.autodesk.com/education). --- **About Autodesk** Autodesk empowers individuals to imagine, design, and create a better world.
