Ask HN: Free cloud servers for 15 year old high school developers?

Some family friends kids are 15 years old and learning to program.

They need access to a free Linux server so they can learn back end development.

Anyone know of free cloud server access for high school student developers?

an alternative is to just hook up an old pc running ubuntu to a home router. Setup dynamic DNS and you have a full running server. I run my personal blog and email server from home and it works fine.
