JAKARTA - Entering the new academic year 2026, Google introduced a series of important updates to its programming platform, Google Colab, specifically for teachers and students in the field of science data at universities.
We announced a series of new features in Google Colab specifically designed for teachers and science data students at the higher education level. The academic community has a unique need for programming platforms," Google said in its blog.
First, Google presents a one-year free Colab Pro subscription offer for students and lecturers at high education institutions based in the United States.
With access to stronger computing resources, users can enjoy faster model training, more complex data analysis, and a smoother experience when attending coding-based lectures.
To get this free access, users simply verify their identity as students or teachers through a special registration page on Google Colab.
Furthermore, Google also introduced Slideshow Mode, a feature that allows teachers to convert Colab notebooks into interactive presentations. This mode also supports the execution of live codes in the presentation view.
Thus, this capability will facilitate demonstrations of concepts, direct experiments, and discussions of code results without the need to move to other applications.

Finally, responding to input from teachers, Google now provides the option to enable or disable AI features such as autocompletetion in each notebook.
With this arrangement, lecturers can ensure that all classes work in a uniform and distraction-free learning environment.
"We believe these new features will greatly improve learning and teaching science data at Google Colab," the announcement concluded.
