The Google Summer of Code (GSoC) program is open for all and aims to help people work on a 3 month long open-source project under a mentor.
List of open-source orgs/projects: https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/programs/2022/organizations
This seems like a great way especially for people currently in computer science to explore some tech-for-good projects such as:
- Responsible AI and human-centered Technology at Tensorflow (https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/programs/2022/organizations/responsible-ai-and-human-centred-technology)
- Public Lab: Tools for Measuring Pollution (https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/programs/2022/organizations/public-lab)
- Biomedical research to advance healthcare (https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/programs/2022/organizations/department-of-biomedical-informatics-emory-university)
- Our World In Data (https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/programs/2022/organizations/our-world-in-data)
And many more.
The deadline is approaching very soon though on April 19th :( But if you'd still like to explore and help other EAs do so, please help spread the word! Also, it would be great if you could mention where else I can spread awareness about this. I've posted it on my local EA Whatsapp group, EA Anywhere and EA Virtual programs slack workspaces, and the EA subreddit.
