Google Code In/2014

Overview

Google Code-in is a contest run by Google with a goal of encouraging young (13 to 17 years old) students to contribute to open source. Since 2010, Google Code-in has been introducing pre-university students from around the globe to various open source communities.

Instructions

• BRL-CAD will create a list of tasks for students to work upon. Each task will have a mentor associated with it.
  • You can take a look at our tasks here.
• A student picks a task from the list and he/she is assigned a deadline.
  • While a task is claimed no other student can work on that task.
• After completion of task it's ready to be reviewed by mentor.
