Ask HN: How can a high school student get started with open source projects?
2 by web99 | 0 comments on Hacker News.
My daughter is fairly proficient in Python (only language she has been learning for a couple of years) and I'd love to get her to contribute to open source projects as a way to get real-world, team-collaboration exposure. I thought I'd find open source mentorship programs online but to my surprise I found zero. I think young kids interested in CS majors will benefit from open source mentorship programs as a way to learn the craft and get real-world experience. I see so many college students reaching out for internships - instead, they should just contribute to open source! Thoughts?
