Google Summer of Code International Summer School 2017

About the summer school 

Google Summer of Code is a global program focused on introducing students to open source software development. Students work on a 3 month programming project with an open source organization during their break from university.

Since its inception in 2005, the program has brought together 12,000+ student participants and 11,000 mentors from over 127 countries worldwide. Google Summer of Code has produced 30,000,000+ lines of code for 568 open source organizations.

Students have the opportunity to spend the break between their school semesters earning a stipend while working in areas related to their interests.
