Google Code-in <strong><a href="https://codein.withgoogle.com/">Google Code-in</a> is a global, online contest introducing pre-university students ages 13 to 17 to the world of open source development. With a wide variety of <a href="https://developers.google.com/open-source/gci/resources/example-tasks">bite-sized tasks</a>, it’s easy for beginners to jump in and get started no matter what skills they have.</strong> Mentors from the DIAL Open Source Center’s participating organizations lend a helping hand as participants learn what it’s like to work on an open source project. Participants get to work on real software and win prizes from t-shirts to a trip to Google HQ!
