Live code, voice, camera, and screen sharing — all wired into one tab. A student asks a question, Python runs in the browser, and a voiced tutor explains the output while seeing their screen.
Free accounts for students and faculty. No credit card required.
Type a question. The studio writes code in the editor and Python runs in the browser via WebAssembly — no install, no server, no execution bill at any class size.
One click starts screen sharing or opens the camera. A voiced tutor sees what is on the display and explains the output — in real time, in the student's own words.
Every build downloads as a file — code, PDF, slides, or a working app. Share a thread publicly so others can discover and fork it. The work compounds.
PDC Dev Studio operationalizes an already-proven pedagogical effect at near-zero marginal cost per student.
The thesis, in one sentence: All learners benefit from interactive experiences — and the students furthest behind benefit most. PDC Dev Studio makes that experience accessible at classroom scale, without a server bill for code execution.
The Monaco code editor and Pyodide (Python via WebAssembly) run entirely client-side. No installation, no cloud execution bill, no infrastructure to manage — at any class size. JavaScript runs the same way.
The Converse surface opens a live voice session with a voiced AI tutor. Students share their screen or camera with one click. The tutor sees the display, hears the question, and responds out loud — in context, without switching tools.
The Create module produces PDF reports, PPTX slide decks, spreadsheets, websites, and working apps. Attach images, audio, video, PDF, and ZIP files in chat. Every deliverable downloads or shares publicly in the gallery.
Generic AI tools explain content. Static materials present it. PDC Dev Studio is where a student actually builds something.

A single faculty member can start a course pilot today on the individual-account model — no central IT sign-off required to begin. If students engage and the instructor sees value, the institution conversation follows.
Python runs in the browser via WebAssembly — no cloud compute bill for student code runs, at any class size.
Priced like course materials. Fits OER authoring grants and the inclusive-access billing rails institutions already run.
3,000 credits per month, rolling over. Enough for a faculty member to build and share course content before the semester starts.
Free to start — students and faculty. No credit card. No IT sign-off required.
Community colleges highlighted — the platform fits ZTC degree program requirements and inclusive-access billing.
We'll index your school's public course catalog and notify you when threads are ready.
Campus-wide or department-wide access for students, faculty, and staff. We'll follow up with pricing and a pilot plan.
Prefer to talk it through? Call (213) 732-3274.
One faculty champion. One course. Individual accounts don't need IT sign-off to start.
