# Jupyter Notebooks Online

JupyterNotebooks have become a popular interface for teaching scientific programming. While there are many products and vendors available that host pre-configured notebook environments. At Brown, we directly can support you with the following ones:

### Google Colab

Colaboratory, or "Colab" for short, allows you to write and execute Python in your browser, with&#x20;

* Zero configuration required
* Free access to GPUs
* Easy sharing

Whether you're a **student**, a **data scientist** or an **AI researcher**, Colab can make your work easier. Watch [Introduction to Colab](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=inN8seMm7UI) to learn more or visit <https://colab.research.google.com>

### JupyterHub

Brown's JupyterHub service  provides a convenient, cloud-hosted way to serve Jupyter Notebooks for multiple users. Notebooks are launched within a pre-configured computing environment; users do not need to install any software packages.  Jupyter’s flexibility allows instructors to pick the preferred language for a particular context, including Python, Julia, R and many more. Regardless of the language chosen, the Jupyter interface remains the same. To learn more, visit [CCV's website](https://ccv.brown.edu/services/consulting/jupyterhub/)
