summary

Google Code-in runs as a seven‑week online contest for 13–17 year olds (usually Nov–Jan) where students pick from roughly 2,500–4,000 tasks designed to take 3–5 hours each, including coding, documentation, UI, outreach and beginner tasks to onboard newcomers. Each task has volunteer mentors (commonly 4–5) who guide work and extensions. Rewards scale: one task earns a certificate, three a t-shirt, finalists get hoodies and two grand prize winners per org get a four‑day trip to Google. Recent stats: participants from 99 countries, 704 of 1,380 from Asia this year.
