[Stephanie Taylor]

We are excited to announce the 10th year of the Google Code-in (GCI) contest, our contest for 13-17 year old pre-university students. 

Please note that GCI will start 6 weeks later this year than in 2018. The contest starts for students Monday, December 2nd and closes January 23, 2020.

The GCI timeline, FAQs and flyers have been updated on the 2019 contest site.

Students -- The contest begins for you on Monday, December 2nd! You will be able to register for the contest starting December 2nd at 18:00 UTC at g.co/gci.

Organizations -- If your organization would like to apply for the 2019 program to mentor students please start thinking about the tasks you would like students to work on and reach out to your community members to ask if they would like to be mentors for the program. Organization applications open for GCI on Thursday, October 10th, and close 2.5 weeks later on Monday, October 28th. We will announce organizations on Tuesday, October 29th giving orgs 5 weeks to create their tasks before the contest begins for students on December 2nd.

We are looking to reach a record number of teenagers this year! Read more on today’s blog post.
