Hi everyone,
We’re excited to announce the 6th year of the Google Code-in [0] contest will begin on December 7th! Over the last five years we have had over 2200 students from 87 countries work on tasks for 37 open source projects. Pre-university 13-17 year old students around the world will have the opportunity to put the skills they have been learning in the classroom to use on real open source projects for seven weeks from December 7 - January 25, 2016.
We’re looking forward to another fun and exciting contest this year and hope you’ll participate yourself if you are eligible and also spread the word to friends, family, and colleagues about the program. Please check out the timeline [1] for more important dates.
Please see our blog post [2] and FAQs [3] for more details on the contest. You can also sign up for the contest discussion list [4]. If you wish to pose a question to Google administrators about the contest please send them an email [5].
You can register as a student once the contest begins on Monday, December 7th at 17:00 UTC.

Do we have a new website or will be using the same as last year?
