The Google Summer of Code is a global platform for students and new developers to work on Open source projects. Selected participants will work on a coding project for 12 weeks with an open-source organization under the guidance of a mentor. Each intern will receive a stipend for completing the project. The stipend is from $3000 to $6600. The stipend amount is calculated based on your location. GSoC is an activity that a participant performs as an independent developer for which they are paid a stipend.
Google is celebrating the 20th year of Google Summer of Code. GSoC has welcomed thousands of new developers into the open-source community every year. This year google added more projects focused on Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and Security.
