Code-in? Could you elaborate?

'Summer of code' for high school students?

Frankly, looking at its phrasing, it just looks like open-outsourcing
on a whole new level.

i don't think that's accurate.  the tasks need to
be small enough and easy enough for a 12-17 year old
student to resonably get one done in a week.  it would be
much easier to just do these tasks oneself than to even
write up the task, let alone walk a student through the
problem-solving process.

so i see this as even more magnanimous than gsoc.
google is essentially putting money directly into education.

we're not participating this year for lack of time.  but if there are any
students who would like to participate, please contact me off list.

Thanks for setting me straight.

 The only students I know of at the moment who have the skills are
 interested in robotics and code in C, but I have not been in contact
 with them for a year or two.  I'll talk to their parents about next
 year.

The compound 'code-in' follows the pattern of 'be-in' as in 'Human be-in.'
You can google that.
