Educational Products for Students
Learning is challenging, and distance learning can be really tough. At times, it can be hard to stay motivated, plan your learning activities, track your progress, build your confidence, and find the support you need to keep yourself going.
If you’ve already started to learn Java, Kotlin, or Python, or if you’re considering taking your first steps toward learning to program in these languages, JetBrains Academy is free to use and combines an interactive, project-based learning platform with powerful, professional development tools.
The best way to stay motivated is to learn by doing. Choose one of our 60+ projects and get a curriculum that includes all the concepts necessary to build it:
Learn with single-concept topics that you can complete in as little as 15 minutes:
Practice in your browser and get instant feedback, with more than 5,700 interactive challenges:

Educational Products for Teachers
If you’re looking for innovative ways to teach programming or struggling to find ways to help your students get enough practice, or if you want to give them your support even when you’re teaching remotely – JetBrains Educational Products are here to help.
JetBrains Academy can be a great additional free learning resource for your students, while Educational IDEs can help you share your knowledge and transfer programming skills in the form of code practicing tasks and integrated tests, with all the productivity boosters a professional IDE offers.
Educational IDEs support Java, Kotlin, Python, Scala, JavaScript, Rust, C/C++, and Go, with more languages to come.
Create your course, with one or more lessons, right in the IDE:
Structure each lesson as a list of tasks, with each task including a description, a file with the exercise code, a test file to check the solutions, and any other files students need to complete the task:
Teach with the help of simple and effective "fill in the missing code" exercises:
Let students independently check their assignments with your integrated tests, and help them learn with special hints:
Keep track of your learning materials and share them publicly or privately with your students:
Read the Quickstart Guide for more details, and please feel free to contact us at academy@jetbrains.com if you have any questions or need support.
