Know any 13 to 17-year olds who are trying out their hands at code? They can also get involved in the Google Code-In contest and win cool prizes while at it. The Google Code-in 2013 contest runs from November 18, 2013 to January 6, 2014.

Google Code-In is designed to (1) encourage and inspire pre-university students to begin participating in open source development, (2) help open source projects identify and bring in new contributors, and (3) provide pre-university students interested in computer science and other fields with exposure to real-world software development, including coding work, documentation and open source community involvement.

The FAQs should answer all the questions you might have.
