Arduino Cloud: 6 Months Free for GitHub Student Pack Members

Arduino's official student page currently lists a six-month free Arduino Cloud benefit for students enrolled in the GitHub Student Developer Pack. The promotion is intended to unlock additional Arduino Cloud features beyond the always-free editor so students can build, connect, and manage IoT projects with the Maker-plan capabilities during the promotional period.

To redeem it, sign in through Arduino's GitHub student page with the GitHub account that holds an active Student Developer Pack. Arduino then exposes the student discount code or redemption path for the eligible Cloud offer. The same page also advertises separate discounts on selected digital products and hardware, but those should be evaluated independently rather than assuming every Arduino purchase receives a discount.

Because Arduino Cloud also has its own regular free tier and separate paid plans, compare the student benefit with the features you actually need. The six-month student offer is most useful when coursework or a personal project needs the additional Maker-plan capabilities during a defined build period.
