Contributing to open-source projects during college is immensely beneficial for students. It offers real-world experience in software development, collaboration, and problem-solving, which are invaluable in a professional setting. Joining such communities right from college gives additional boost and confidence for tackling industrial needs. In our open-source initiative, mentors and project administrators will be seniors and alumni from NITK Surathkal, bringing their wealth of experience and expertise to guide new contributors. Conversely, Mentees can be students from any college, creating a diverse and inclusive environment for learning and collaboration. This structure ensures that mentees receive top-notch guidance from seasoned professionals while fostering a broad and vibrant community of learners and contributors.
