How to teach with Databricks Free Edition
Databricks Free Edition can anchor a full data and AI curriculum, from intro data science and statistics through data engineering, BI, machine learning, AI, and capstone projects. Students work with the same tools used in industry, including Apache Spark, Delta Lake, MLflow, Lakebase, Genie, and Databricks Apps, while instructors can hand out assignments through an existing LMS or GitHub and share datasets via cloud storage, Open Sharing, or Marketplace.
* **One platform can support an entire data + AI curriculum**, from introductory data science and statistics through data engineering, BI, machine learning, AI, and capstone projects. * **The learning experience is closer to real-world practice:** students use Apache Spark, Delta Lake, MLflow, Lakebase, Genie, Databricks Apps, and other industry tools rather than learning a separate classroom-only stack. * **Adoption is designed to be lightweight for instructors:** assignments can be distributed through an existing LMS or GitHub, students can collaborate in shared notebooks, and datasets can be distributed through cloud storage, Open Sharing, or Marketplace.
