Use a Free &
Open
Source solution
PyCharm Educational Edition is completely Free and Open Source. Novice programmers can download and use it for educational or any other purposes for free. Instructors and course authors can use it to create, modify and share their own courses.
No previous programming experience necessary
Many code editors, IDEs and other tools are too complex if you're just learning how to program. They often make you invest a serious amount of effort and time into understanding how the tool works. PyCharm Educational Edition is easy to get started with, not intimidating, yet powerful enough to guide you all the way through to becoming a professional developer.
Use professional tools while learning
Having learned programming with PyCharm Educational Edition, you will be able to smoothly advance to other professional development tools such as PyCharm Professional Edition, IntelliJ IDEA, and others.
Turn professional quicker
Unlike other online learning alternatives, PyCharm Educational Edition is not merely a learning system — it's a real development tool. Learning programming in a real professional environment will make your transition from novice to professional as quick and seamless as possible.
PyCharm rocks! Its integrated development environment is perfect for learning Python, and for developing professional applications.
Everything you need, out of the box
PyCharm Educational Edition offers the complete toolkit for both students and teachers of programming. These include essential learning features like an integrated Python console, Debugger and VCS, along with unique educational features like "fill in the missing code" exercises, intelligent hints, checks, smart suggestions, code auto-completion, and much more.
Your intelligent learning assistant
PyCharm Educational Edition detects code problems and errors on the fly, as you go, and makes valuable suggestions based on its deep understanding of Python code. Thanks to this instant feedback, you can save time and effort and progress with your learning faster.
We have found PyCharm valuable in the teaching process to help students more easily debug their code! We are also better able to focus on more algorithms in these upper-division courses and move at a faster velocity to cover more material.
Our freshman students have found PyCharm to be an excellent platform for learning Python programming because of PyCharm's debugger and immediate syntax and type feedback.
Simply put, PyCharm has been a fantastic resource for both our upper-division courses and with the high school programming camps we've been running during the summer.
