Purpose

This page aims to describe the process for administering the Google Code-in (GCI) program and serve as a repository for any information about running GCI.

What is Google Code In (GCI)?

  • From the Google Code-in Website: [A] global, online contest introducing teenagers to the world of open source development. With a wide variety of bite-sized tasks, it’s easy for beginners to jump in and get started no matter what skills they have. Mentors from our 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!

What is the role of a GCI Admin?
