That’s why people love it and why we think it’s an excellent tool for educators”, – says Pavel Zhovner, Co-Founder and CEO of Flipper Devices.

Subsidies for devices for specific academic courses
Universities can apply for subsidies to acquire Flipper Zero devices for academic courses in embedded development, electronics engineering, cybersecurity, and radio/RFID technologies. These subsidies aim to make cutting-edge technology more accessible to students, empowering them with the tools they need to master these fields. Additionally, universities are able to purchase devices for general university needs with discounts, providing opportunities for interdisciplinary exploration and experimentation.

30% discount for partner university students
Flipper Devices also offers a 30% discount on Flipper Zero devices for students from partner Universities. This discount, verified through student ID and university email, encourages students to take advantage of this tool for their academic and personal development.

“Flipper Zero is a valuable tool to teach students about mechatronics, communication, and cybersecurity during our outreach programs, engineering classes, and community impact projects. The Flipper team has provided our education, research, and innovation teams at the MakersPlace and DeyGana with enough devices and accessories to ensure each student and facilitator gets a hands-on experience during lessons, lesson planning, and project development sessions.

With this significant contribution not only in hardware but also in access to the Flipper team for troubleshooting and other curriculum consulting needs, we can successfully deploy Flipper Zero in more than 20 schools in Accra, Ghana, where we educate 1000+ students in STEAM topics, including but not limited to software development, robotics, CAD and manufacturing, mechatronics, and metacognition for problem-solving.

In collaboration with DeyGana, we have also built and are continuing to build multiple STEAM Labs and makerspaces where Flipper Zeros will contribute to us delivering STEAM education effectively to build not only technical proficiency but also impact and service alignment. We truly appreciate the Flipper Team for their innovation in creating such a wonderful education tool and their generosity in sharing it with educators and STEAM implementers like us”.
