Frequent
Questions

Everything students usually ask before they start contributing.

You work on our real, live software with a mentor. You fix bugs, build features and write docs, not practice projects. Mentors review your code, and approved work is merged and goes live.

Yes, 100% free. There is no registration fee and no hidden cost. You move ahead only on the quality of your work.

Pick a 30, 45 or 60 day track. Shorter tracks are more intensive; longer ones give you time for bigger tasks. Every track gets the same mentoring and the same certificate.

You send your work as a GitHub pull request. A mentor checks it for quality and clean design, and leaves comments. You fix what they ask, and once it is approved it is merged into the main code.

A verified contributor certificate that anyone can check online. Top contributors can be offered a paid internship, and strong interns can move to a full-time role with us or a partner company.

You get real work on your GitHub and resume that recruiters can verify, plus experience of how production code is built and reviewed. That gives you real things to talk about in interviews.

No. Beginners are welcome. Mentors guide you from your first pull request onwards.

Most programs give a certificate just for taking part. Here you only get one for real code that is reviewed and merged, so your certificate shows work you actually did.
