Resources for Education

Ongoing school closings and quarantines continue to affect students, parents, educators and professionals worldwide. With that in mind, we’ve gathered a list of free resources to help you continue learning and exploring from home—including interactive courses with certificates of completion to strengthen your skills and boost your resume.

What is an interactive course?

Wolfram U offers interactive courses designed for self-study in a range of subjects, often with no prior knowledge required. Each course includes a series of video lessons with interactive examples and assessments to help build knowledge in the given area. With the provided transcript and scratch notebook, you can copy, edit and evaluate code yourself in a Wolfram Cloud environment.
After watching all the videos and successfully passing the quizzes, you will earn a course completion certificate. We also have additional certification options for several courses. Course certifications are a great way to document your Wolfram Language skills on school applications and professional profiles.
