Google seeks students help with open source dev work with Google Code-in program

In case you haven’t heard yet, Google has opened its Google Code-in 2017 student program with the contest happening starting November 28. Basically, the tech giant is calling on pre-university students from around the world ages 13 to 17 to help out with open source tasks. Participants can win everything from certificates, t-shirts, hoodies, and a chance to win a trip to Google’s California headquarters. On top of that, the program doesn’t just give kids access to these open source tasks but it brings them in contact with mentors from Google’s participating organizations, too. This helps them learn how it is to work on open source projects. You can find out more about the contest here.
