AI Campus • Practical resources

Choose tools with clear costs.

A focused starter list for studying, coding and building. Source pages checked on 2 November 2026; pricing and product limits can change. Follow the official source before committing to a service.

JupyterLab

Free software; hosting and compute are separate.

Explore datasets and write reproducible notebooks with explanations beside your code.

Use a local Python environment for local work. Hosted notebook services have their own quotas and prices.

Jupyter official site ↗

Visual Studio Code

The editor is free; AI services and some extensions have separate terms.

Write, run and debug your Python or web projects in one editor.

Installing the editor does not mean every AI model, extension or cloud workflow is free. Check each service before enabling it.

VS Code official FAQ ↗

Ollama

Local-model option; paid cloud usage and subscriptions are separate.

Run a compatible downloaded model on your own computer and connect it to a small app.

Check the model license and hardware needs. Disable cloud features for a local-only workflow. Local use still consumes storage, electricity and hardware resources.

A quick check before signing up

  • Is it free software, a limited free tier, a trial, or a paid plan?
  • What happens when the free quota ends? Is a card required?
  • Can you export your work and delete uploaded files?
  • Will your notes, source code or personal data leave your device?
  • Can a simpler local tool do the same job?
