To participate in an educational licence for Office, you would have to be a staff member or student at an institution that has such a licence. If your institution doesn't have one, you're out of luck. Microsoft does not provide Office for free - even to educational institutions (they have to purchase a licence).
As for Office 2010, that should be fine for almost all Office-related development you might need to do, since most corporations would be using that, Office 2007, or Office 2013, not Office 365 or Office 2016.
