Learning to Code
If you're a college student and you're interested in learning about programming and open-source development, Google has an opportunity for you! The Google Summer of Code (GSoC).
According to the Google Summer of Code site, applications for college students who are 18 or older opened on March 20. Students need to apply for entrance to the program by April 3. Google has offered GSoC for 13 years. The program is online, so no travel is required. Google has selected 201 organizations to act as mentors for students in the program, including such entities as Apache, Blender, Libre Office, and Moodle, to name just a few. Students are directed to review the mentor organizations and the projects and can submit up to five project proposals. If selected, students will be matched with a mentor and will receive a stipend.
