Five Zachtronics studio games are now free for public schools and other non-profit educational institutions. Discounts are provided for private and commercial schools.

Here is a list of puzzle games that Zachtronics is ready to donate or sell at a discount to school institutions:
The purpose of these games is to teach visual and parallel programming, writing assembly code, the basics of level design and the iteration method. At the same time, Zachtronics emphasizes: the teacher should familiarize himself with the titles on his own before compiling educational material based on them.
Free licenses are intended for installation on school and laboratory computers and laptops. Private and for-profit schools can expect discounts from 25% to 75% when purchasing, depending on the number of licenses purchased. The promotion does not apply to personal computers for home education.
Teachers should fill out the questionnaire provided here and send it by e-mail to zach@zachtronics.com from the address of the educational organization. In the questionnaire, you must specify how many computers the games will be installed on and how many students will have access to them.
Zachtronics also asks you to pay attention to the rating of the games presented. All of them were rated T because of the presence of swear words and the topics of sex, violence, alcohol and drugs involved.
