Autodesk Makes Design Software Free to Schools Worldwide

**Public Company Information:** NASDAQ: ADSK **LAS VEGAS – (BUSINESS WIRE)** – In a bold move to democratize access to its professional design software within the educational sphere, **Autodesk, Inc.** (NASDAQ: ADSK) has announced that it will now offer its top-tier design, engineering, and entertainment software completely free* to students, educators, and academic institutions globally. This initiative marks a significant step toward ensuring that students and educators have the tools they need to thrive in an ever-evolving technological landscape. With this decision, more than 680 million students and educators from over 800,000 secondary and post-secondary schools across 188 countries can now access Autodesk’s professional-grade software and services. Whether it's in classrooms, labs, or even at home, these tools are now available free of charge. According to Carl Bass, CEO of Autodesk, “The way we create and build is undergoing rapid transformation. To keep pace with these changes, we need a workforce equipped with the skills to adapt to modern manufacturing and construction methods. By offering free professional design tools to students, professors, and academic institutions worldwide, we’re laying the groundwork for the industries of tomorrow.” This global rollout follows Autodesk’s earlier announcement of free software for academic institutions in the U.S., part of President Obama’s ConnectED initiative. Since then, the company has steadily expanded access to its premier design software to institutions throughout Asia-Pacific and Europe. In addition to providing free access to its cutting-edge cloud-based design tools like the **A360 collaboration platform**, Autodesk is also offering maintenance subscriptions for free. Young talents are already making waves with these tools. From middle schoolers using **Fusion 360** to conceptualize and 3D-print prosthetic devices, to university teams leveraging **BIM 360 Glue** to develop sustainable homes, students are proving their ability to innovate both inside and outside the classroom. Karen Kaun, founder of Makeosity, shared her enthusiasm: “Our eighth graders are designing energy-efficient scooters using Fusion 360, which we're taking to market via Kickstarter! Imagine what could happen if more teachers integrated design thinking into their curriculums. It would inspire students to see how math and science lead to careers as innovators and entrepreneurs.” To support educators in integrating these tools into their teaching, Autodesk provides free project-based learning content, including the **Digital STEAM Workshop** and **Design Academy**. Neelie Kroes, former Vice-President of the European Commission, echoed the importance of these efforts: “Closing the digital divide in education begins with giving schools access to the same advanced technology professionals use today. Autodesk’s commitment ensures educators can teach design thinking, equip students with practical skills, and prepare the workforce of the future.” For those interested in accessing Autodesk’s free educational software, visit [www.autodesk.com/education](http://www.autodesk.com/education). --- **About Autodesk** Autodesk empowers individuals to imagine, design, and create a better world.
