How can I get additional mbed accounts¶

Each mbed ships with a single license to create a single account, but in some scenarios, like laboratories, there are more potential users than physical hardware. To solve this we have created signup codes

• Application form for Educational licenses
• For additional commercial licenses, contact support@mbed.org

Will you sponsor my student project?¶

We do have some sponsored units that we can send to the coolest/most interesting projects, but as always demand is far greater than supply.

If you're undertaking a project that you think might be suitable, check out the sponsorship page, and complete the online form :
