OT: Does Revit have an EDU version for purchase?

[Kroke]

I'm considering going to the local high school and seeing if a guy or two wants to learn Revit instead of what they use there to get work experience in. I could use the help once they caught on.

But does Revit have EDU versions avaiable or no?

not a bad deal...

Any individual or company, upon purchasing 5 seats of Revit, can donate 25 seats of Revit to the school of their choice.....for free!

Not a bad deal for schools in your area! We are currently working on finding a couple of local community colleges to give ours to, so that we can get locally trained Revit staff!

This is a great way for us to get Revit into schools, and make it the program of choice for students!

A few other choices for you.

Really.... I'd like to hear some expansion on that. Do they all have to be purchased at the same time? We currently have 4 seats, but if we get another one does that count? How do you go about making this happen?

Contact your reseller about educational grants of Revit. As far as I know, they don't have to be at the same time. Just buy 5, any time, and you are eligible to grant 25 seats to a school.

My understanding is that a student (taking at least 6 credit hours) can purchase an academic version of Revit on a 1 year license for between $100 and $150 US.

That's what I've heard from Sales Reps.

This is awesome news!!! I'm going to the high school next week to discuss. I know they wanted me to come and help teach autocad a few years ago. I wasn't that brave. I'm no Revit guru, but compared to those that have never seen anything besides autocad, I think I could put the wool over their eyes to finish a project and them stay enthused about it.

Thanks for the links, sweet deal, good thinking Revit!
