## What you get

Hugging Face Classrooms gives educators a free collaborative workspace on the Hub where students can upload, version and host datasets, models and ML demos at no cost, with no institutional verification or paid plan required.

## The catch

A Hub workspace, not compute. HF docs now say Gradio and Docker Spaces need a paid plan (Team or Enterprise for organizations); Static Spaces stay free. No classroom exception is listed.

## Limits

- Free classroom organization on the Hub, created by an educator
- Host datasets, models and Static Spaces at no cost; Gradio/Docker Spaces need a paid plan per HF docs
- Git-based version control for all classroom content
- Admin, read, and write access controls per student
- Private or public visibility chosen by the instructor

## Details

## Overview

[Hugging Face Classrooms](https://huggingface.co/classrooms) provides teachers and students with a free collaborative workspace on the Hugging Face Hub. An instructor creates a classroom, which is backed by a Hub organization, then invites students to build and share machine learning projects in one place.

## What Is Free

- A classroom organization on the Hub, created at no cost from the Classrooms page.
- Free hosting for the classroom's **datasets and models**, and for Static Spaces. The Classrooms page still says demos are "hosted for free", but the Spaces docs now say Gradio and Docker Spaces "require a paid plan to create" (Team or Enterprise for organizations) and list no exception for classrooms.
- Git-based version control for every model, dataset and demo in the classroom.
- Student access controls with admin, read and write permissions.
- Private or public visibility for classroom content, chosen by the instructor.
- Hugging Face's free courses (NLP, Deep RL, ML demos) and the educator toolkit are available alongside the classroom to support teaching.

## Eligibility

The Classrooms page repeatedly describes the offering as free, with calls to "Create a classroom for free" and to "Bring state-of-the-art tools to your Classrooms, for Free." No institutional verification, application or approval process is required, and there is no requirement to use an academic email address. Any educator with a free Hugging Face account can set up a classroom, and students only need a free account to join.

## How to Get Started

1. Create a free account at [huggingface.co](https://huggingface.co/).
2. Open [huggingface.co/classrooms](https://huggingface.co/classrooms) and create a classroom.
3. Set the classroom name, visibility and member permissions.
4. Invite students by Hugging Face username or email address.

Students can then upload datasets and models, train, fine-tune, experiment and deploy directly from the shared workspace.
