Environment setup
You will need uv, a git client, and VS Code (or an editor of your choice) with the GitHub Copilot extension. uv handles Python itself: it installs and manages the right Python version automatically per assignment, so there is no separate Python installation step. Sign up for the GitHub Student Developer Pack above for free access to Copilot and other developer tools. Access to additional AI models will be provided as specific assignments require it, so there is nothing you need to buy on your own.
