DreamSpark is a Microsoft program to provide students with
software design and development tools at no charge.
The program was originally available for University/College
students in Belarus, Belgium, China, Finland, France, Germany, India, Italy,
the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Tunisia, the U.K. and the U.S.,
but has now been expanded to more than 80 countries and is offered to many high
school students. To register, students must visit the DreamSpark website and
verify their identity. If an institution is not listed on the available list,
the user may manually verify their student status by uploading a proof such as
an ID card.
The DreamSpark program was announced by Bill Gates on February
20, 2008 during a speech at Stanford University. It is
estimated that up to 35 million students will be able to access these software
titles free of charge through this program.
How do I get DreamSpark Software? As a Student simply
create an account, verify your student status and download software through
this website at no cost. If your school/university has a subscription, you can
also get access to more software titles.
How to sign-up for DreamSpark
DreamSpark
is simple: it's all about giving students Microsoft professional-level
developer and designer tools at no cost so that students can chase their dreams
and create the next big breakthrough in technology - or just get a head start
on their career.
DreamSpark
helps educators teach the latest technologies and experiment in research. Microsoft knows that to make learning more
motivating, relevant, and engaging for today's students requires a diverse set
of resources. DreamSpark gives educators the resources to ensure their
classrooms always have the latest technologies to challenge, motivate, and keep
students engaged in new ways.
DreamSpark
is also a subscription for Academic Institutions: it provides a cost-effective way to put
Microsoft developer tools, platforms and servers in labs and classrooms, and on
their students’ and faculty’s computers for learning and research purposes. It
reduces lab costs and teaching budgets.
