Google Code-in contest for 13-17 year old students worldwide starts Nov 26th

I am writing to let you know personally that Google Code-in, our
international online contest to introduce 13-17 year old
pre-university students to open source software development begins on
Monday, November 26th, 2012. Prizes for participating in the
online-only contest include certificates, tee-shirts, and an all
expenses paid trip to Google headquarters in California, USA for 20
winners and their parent or legal guardian. You can learn more about
the details of the contest on our blog post -

and the program site -

http://code.google.com/opensource/gci/2012/index.html.

The contest is similar to the Google Summer of Code program for
college students 18 and older, in that it gives participants the
opportunity to work with mentors from carefully chosen free and source
software projects on real-world coding and related tasks. Last year
542 students from 56 countries participated. We hope to expand the
program this year and would appreciate your help and that of the
schools in your association to spread the word to students around the
globe.

Thank you in advance for any help. Please let me know if you have any
questions: we'd be happy to answer them.

Regards,
Cat
