Google is announcing a new outreach effort, aimed at 13- to 18-year-old students around the world.

Google will match students to mentoring organizations and will give them a chance to do real-world development on open source projects. Tasks for participating students can include writing code, creating documentation, training others, testing code, UI research and design, and community outreach.

For each task successfully completed, students will receive $100, up to a maximum of $500. And all the students participating in the program will compete for a grand prize - an all-expenses paid trip for the student and a family member to visit the Google campus.


toto treba spravit na slovensku, aby deti mali mentorov, lebo sak jak sa dnes moze vyvinut dobry programator? jedine tak, ze do toho investuje nadmernu energiu, a prekona vsetky prekazky sam, s trochou pomoci ludi, ktori to uz prekonali.. ale ako to prekonavat? to sa nenauci.. programatori maju mnozstvo vedomosti, ale neextrahuju z toho univerzalne principy, nemaju mudrosti..

mudrych ludi treba prepojit s mudrost-hladajucimi mladymi ludmi s entuziazmom.. dodat im gule, odvahu, lebo jedine strach ludi brzdi, vsetko ostatne zvladnu pokial sa budu mat o koho opriet, o koho zdvihnut, ked padnu.. a bez padov sa ucit a zlepsovat neda.. a bez mentora sa dlho padat neda, iba psychopati jak ja, len mam z toho dobre dojebanu psychiku ked som robil viac nez na co som mal.. dakujem komunizmu, ktory z ludi vytlacil cielavedomost a globalne myslenie..
