Do something interesting - and math related - over summer. This is a great concept and if you (or your students) are under 18, there is still scope to do something like this in your local area.<\/p>\n

You can propose your own coding project for Google's Summer of Code - and get paid for it! Your project can involve coding for GeoGebra.<\/p>\n

Geogebra<\/b> is a free interactive geometry (and algebra) software primarily designed for education. You can see my review of GeoGebra<\/a> which also shows you how to use it.<\/p>\n

Google Summer of Code<\/b> is a program in which Google awards stipends (of $5000 USD) to hundreds of students who successfully complete a requested free or open-source software coding project during the summer.<\/p>\n

As Google says<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

Through Google Summer of Code, accepted student applicants are paired with a mentor or mentors from the participating projects, thus gaining exposure to real-world software development scenarios and the opportunity for employment in areas related to their academic pursuits.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

See more information on Summer of Code<\/a>.<\/p>\n

From GeoGebra's page on the Google Code wiki<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

GeoGebra is part of Google Summer of Code again this year! This means that students (age 18+) can work with GeoGebra on a programming project this summer and get involved in our open source project: flipping bits not burgers. Please apply or let your students know!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

It's great that participants can design their own project, and for those who are not sure what's needed, there are also some suggestions given by the GeoGebra developers.<\/p>\n

2011 application information<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Application period: 28 March - 8 April 2011<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n

This is for those over 18 years old<\/strong> only.<\/p>\n

Last year:<\/strong> Here are details on the 5 GeoGebra-related projects in Google Summer of Code 2010<\/a>.<\/p>\n
