Educational Discount Request for STM32N6570-DK Starter Kit for 8th Grade Science Fair

[Bird_user]

• Hello ST Community,
  I'm T. Bala, a middle student in Westchester County New York working on an 8th grade science fair project on embedded systems with the STM32N6570-DK kit. While visiting MIT for a fair accompanying my older sister, I had visited your booth and got an idea for my project this year. We plan to measure vital signs like heart rate, but the current ~$180 price (impacted by tariffs) is a barrier for our budget. Does ST offer educational discounts for schools/students? If so, what's the process (e.g., proof of school ID, bulk order)? Any promo codes or distributor partners for education?  I request this because for last year’s fair, I had built a robotic hand that would move based off human flex movements in real time, using a glove with flex sensors attached to the fingers and some Arduino code to let the Robotic fingers bend and curl based off of the amount of resistance the flex fingers gave. It was a big hit and it inspired me to dive deeper into the world of engineering. Although since I am young, I do not have a huge budget for this and am limited to supplies in my area.Thank you for any guidance—excited to inspire the next gen of makers!
  Best, T. Bala

I think you would have to approach a local distributor for this.

Do you really need the DK to do that?

The NUCLEO-N657X0-Q is one third the price.

Do you even need an STM32N6 at all? Simply measuring heart rate can be done on a much simpler, lower-cost platform ...
