Those students get access to the same features that every Codecademy Pro learner does: roadmaps to figure out what to learn, thousands of hours of courses and projects to learn programming and data science, and a community of supportive peers.
Comcast (data provider)
As more schools suspend classes and companies encourage employees to work from home due to the Coronavirus, Comcast has made its Xfinity WiFi network free to everyone, including non-Xfinity Internet customers.
They’re also giving all customers unlimited data for free for the next 60 days and will not disconnect a customer’s Internet service or assess late fees if they contact them and let them know that they can’t pay their bills during this period.
For their Internet Essentials program, which services low-income families, new customers will have access to the program for free for 60 days and the base Internet speed for all existing and new Internet Essential customers has permanently increased.
