Google Code-in
“ International, online contestdesigned to introduce 13-17 year old pre-universitystudents to the world of open source development ”
When you read the term open source, do you think
● What is open source?● What types of work do open source projects do?● I’ve only taken one computer science class, can I contribute to an
open source project?● I’m not really into coding, how else can I contribute to open source?● I’ve never participated in open source or an online contest before,
can someone help guide me?● Open source sounds fun, how can I get started?
If you’ve wondered about any of these questions and are a pre-university student (age 13-17) then Google hope you will join in the funand excitement of the Google Code-in
