How it works
In the fall, Google chooses over 25 open source organizations to participate. The organizations create a large list of short (3-5 hour) tasks for students to work on. Tasks are categorized as: code, documentation/training, outreach/research, quality assurance, or design.
Participate!
- Students search for a task that interests them and claim it. They have at least three days to complete it.
- The student works on the task, getting guidance from mentors, if needed. Mentor and Student Roles and Responsibilities.
- Once the student is ready, they submit their work for review through the contest website.
- Mentors from the organization evaluate the work, provide feedback, and if it's complete, accept it! Otherwise, specific feedback is provided, and the student updates the work.
- Once a task is accepted, the student can claim another!
Win!
- Participants win prizes including a digital certificate and t-shirts!
- At the end of the contest, each organization will choose six finalists to receive limited edition Google Code-in hoodies! Two finalists from each organization will be grand prize winners and go on a trip to Google Headquarters in California!
