Google Summer of Code is an amazing program that lets university students learn and perfect their coding knowledge by spending 3 months working on an open-source project – entirely online! That means it’s a global program – and you can participate from anywhere in the world!
For twelve years running, GSoC gives participants a chance to work on an open source software project entirely online. Students, who receive a stipend for their successful contributions, are paired with mentors who can help address technical questions and concerns throughout the program. Former GSoC participants have told us that the real-world experience they’ve gained during the program has not only sharpened their technical skills, but has also boosted their confidence, broadened their professional network and enhanced their resumes.
Student applications for Google Summer of Code are now open and applications can be submitted via the program website until Friday, March 25 at 19:00 UTC. There are currently 180 different open-source projects you can apply for – so start browsing through the list and see if any appeal to you. Then get you’re application in and spend you’re summer writing beautiful code!
