Cuttle for K-12 Education
The Cuttle for K-12 Education Plan provides unlimited access to Cuttle’s powerful web-based editor for all K-12 schools at no cost.
We've created this program to empower students and teachers with creative design tools, removing financial barriers and complicated purchasing processes. Our goal is to help nurture the next generation of inventors by making professional design tools accessible in every classroom.
Why Cuttle for Education?
Students and teachers love Cuttle because:
- It’s a streamlined interface focused entirely on cut design — other programs like Illustrator or Inkscape have non-relevant features and complicated setups which can distract from learning
- It’s a web-based app that can be used on Chromebooks
- Cuttle introduces students to parametric design
- Cuttle allows students to explore coding in JavaScript to create more advanced designs and motivate learning programming
