== Program ==
Google partners with certain open source organizations, all of which have had previous experience working with Google open source programs like [[Google Summer of Code]]. These organizations come up with "bite-sized" tasks that are self-contained, designed for pre-university students to complete. When the contest begins, students can register and claim tasks. Once claimed, students will have a set period of time to complete the task and can receive help from the mentor and the organization's community. Students may also ask for deadline extensions if needed.<ref name=":0">{{cite web|title=Contest Rules for Google Code-in 2013|url=https://www.google-melange.com/gci/document/show/gci_program/google/gci2013/contest_rules|publisher=Google|accessdate=31 December 2013}}</ref>
