Google code-in
Google Code-in is an annual programming competition sponsored by Google LLC in which students complete tasks that define various participating FLOSS organizations. The competition was originally called the “Google Highly Open Participation Contest”, but in 2010 the format was redesigned to its current form. Students who complete assignments win certificates and t-shirts. In addition, each organization will select two grand prize winners who will win a trip to Mount View, California at Google's headquarters .
