Discussion and questions about Processing and the Google Summer of Code program.

Processing Foundation participates in Google’s global open-source education initiative Google Summer of Code. Through this sponsorship, we work with college-level students in open source projects that develop and expand Processing and p5.js. Students are paired with mentors from our community and are paid a stipend.

This category is a place for questions and for students to present and receive feedback on project ideas.

You can check [Processing Foundation GSoC](https://github.com/processing/Processing-Foundation-GSoC/) page for more information about all past projects, application requirements and answers to frequently-asked questions (FAQs), the proposal template, and sample successful proposals from past contributors.
