Figma, a popular design tool and a direct competitor of Adobe suite, is offering it’s pack for free to all schools in the US.
The company trailed this with 50 schools last year and now expands to all the K-12 schools in the country. Interested educators should sign-up to bring this to their students, although they need Chromebooks to run this offer. People on other laptops, too, can try with additional permission.
A Free Designing Tool For Students
One of the best designing software, Figma, is rolling out it’s suite for free to all US school students this week. This comes after a prolonged beta testing with 50 schools initially, where the educators shared positive reviews, resulting in a nationwide expansion.
The free pack includes Figma’s cloud-based designing tool and FigJam, a collaborative whiteboard, and is of the Enterprise tier. This pack usually costs $75/month per person and includes unlimited file making, individual and shared project options, dedicated workspaces and sophisticated design features.
Unlike the regular free plan, where most of the above features are limited. Well, students need to have Chromebooks to utilise the program since it’s made in partnership with Google for Education. Although Figma says people having non-Google systems too can apply for this and be provided a special access.
Interested educators can sign-up for this program now and allow their students to use it. This offer comes amidst Figma being in the line of getting acquired by it’s rival – Adobe, which offered to buy the entire Figma business for $20 billion in cash and shares. Well, this deal was blocked by the market regulators in the US, UK and EU and is under scrutiny to determine potential antitrust law violations.
