We're currently applying to participate in Google Code-In 2014. Applications are due November 10 and decisions will be made by November 12. |
After participating in Google Summer of Code in four different summers, we look forward to the opportunity to work with pre-university students through Google Code-In. As both a 501(c)3 non-profit and an open source project, our global community has a diverse range of tasks (both technical and non-tecnhnical) that will be a valuable experience for the students. Students will gain exposure to an active open source project, a widespread global community, and expand upon a wide range of discipline as they use technology to help alleviate global poverty.
Watch the following videos to learn about our gigantic mission and the game-changing platform we've built to achieve it.
