There is still plenty of time to get involved with Google Code-in to earn digital certificates and a Google Code-in 2015 t-shirt. New tasks are being added daily to the contest site so if you don’t see something that interests you today, check back again every couple of days. Currently over 2,300 tasks are open for students to choose from.
The last day to register for the contest and claim a task is Sunday, January 24, 2016 with all work being due on Monday January 25, 2016 at 9:00 am PT.
Good luck to all of the students participating this year in Google Code-in!
