Thank you to all of the students, mentors and organization administrators who made Google Code-in 2015 our biggest and best yet. The organizations were impressed with the quality of work and enthusiasm from the students. We hope the students had fun learning more about open source and will continue to contribute to these communities.
Stay tuned for more blog posts with statistics from GCI 2015, including a breakdown of the top participating schools, countries of students and mentors, as well as wrap-ups from some students and organizations.
