An estimate of the total time allotted would be helpful.

I'd suggest that you decide if it will be just about development or
cover areas like documentation, translation and artwork too. That way,
it will spread the message of FOSS to students not directly involved
in programming.

Also, I think targeting bug-fixing would be ideal, rather than going
for implementing big new features. Select a few projects on which
people are ready to mentor on, and then form 3-4 groups of 3-4
students for each project.

I, for one, would be interested in getting people started with
programming for KDE.
