'''Google Code-in''' is an annual programming competition sponsored by [[Google|Google Inc.]] that allows pre-university students to complete tasks specified by various, partnering open source organizations. The contest was originally the [[Google Highly Open Participation Contest]], but in 2010, the format was modified into its current state. Students that complete tasks win certificates and T-shirts. Each organization also selects two grand prize award winners who will earn a trip to [[Googleplex|Google's Headquarters]] located in Mount View, California.<ref>{{cite web|title=Frequently Asked Questions about Google Code-in FAQ|url=http://www.google-melange.com/gci/document/show/gci_program/google/gci2012gci2013/help_page|publisher=Google|accessdate=331 December 20122013}}</ref>
