The main goal of the Google Summer of Code (for university students) and Google Code-in (for pre-university students) is to encourage more people to contribute to open source software. Yesterday Google announced a new season of coding adventures for future coders.
Google Code-in begins for students November 28, 2016
For the seventh consecutive year, Google Code-in will give students (ages 13-17) a chance to explore open source. Students will find opportunities to learn and get hands on experience with tasks from a range of categories. This structure allows students to stretch themselves as they take on increasingly more challenging tasks.Getting started is easy: once the contest begins, simply choose an interesting task from our participating organizations’ lists and complete it. Mentors from the organizations are available to help online.
Google Summer of Code student applications open on March 20, 2017
Google Summer of Code (GSoC) provides university students from around the world with an opportunity to take their skills and hone them by contributing to open source projects during their summer break from university.
Students gain invaluable experience working with mentors on these open source software projects, earning a stipend upon successful completion of their project.
Student applications for Google Summer of Code 2017 will open on March 20, 2017. Applications for interested open source organizations open on January 19, 2017.
Students, it’s never too early to start preparing or thinking about your proposal. You can learn about the organizations that participated in Google Summer of Code 2016 and the projects students worked on. We also encourage you to explore other resources like the student and mentor manuals and frequently asked questions.
