Announcing the Winners of Google Code-in 2017

Wednesday, January 31, 2018

Google Code-in (GCI) 2017 was epic in every regard. It was a very, very busy 7 weeks for everyone - we had 3,555 students from 78 countries completing 16,468 tasks with a record 25 open source organizations!

Today we are excited to announce the Grand Prize Winners and Finalists with each organization. The 50 Grand Prize Winners completed an impressive 1,739 tasks between them while also helping other students.

Each of the Grand Prize Winners will be awarded a four day trip to Google’s campus in northern California to meet with Google engineers, meet with one of the mentors they worked with during the contest, and enjoy some fun in the California sun with the other winners. We look forward to meeting these winners in a few months!

GCI is a contest that the Google Open Source team is honored to run every year. We saw immense growth this year, the seventh year of the contest, both in the number of students participating and the number of countries represented by these students. 

Our 730+ mentors, the heart and soul of GCI, are the reason the contest thrives. Mentors volunteer their time to help these bright students become open source contributors. Mentors spend hundreds of hours during their holiday breaks answering questions, reviewing submitted tasks, and welcoming the students to their communities. GCI would not be possible without their patience and tireless efforts.

We will post more statistics and fun stories that came from GCI 2017 here on the Google Open Source Blog over the next few months, so please stay tuned!

Congratulations to our Grand Prize Winners, Finalists, and all of the students who spent the last couple of months learning about and contributing to open source.
