Hi, At first sight, the competition element seems a bit weird approach for the open source setting. Do you see a way how it can work out well? (Google also has a code-in for HS students. Has numpy ever tried it? (all the mentors I talked to at the last gsoc summit said it takes more time to mentor than gsoc, but I guess maybe it's partly due to the fact that is different, if we count all the pre-coding period efforts put into gsoc by the wider community, it also adds up significantly)).

Hi all,
We got an invitation to participate in AI Code-In ( https://aicode-in.github.io/AICode-In/). It's a new initiative, seems a bit GSoC like, but created by and for middle/high schoolers. We'd have to create tasks to work on (more like tagging/creation actionable issues than a full project), and provide some mentoring bandwidth.
It seems well-organized and because it's a new initiative it may be smaller and more "early adopter" than GSoC. Would anyone be interested to participate as a mentor and/or lead the NumPy organization participation?
Cheers, Ralf
