Working alongside nonprofit leaders, you'll learn contribution workflows while making meaningful improvements to vetted projects. From beginner-friendly documentation updates to advanced feature implementation, you'll gain practical experience with GitHub tooling and collaborative development practices.

Come learn what it's like to travel to different countries setting up labs for underprivileged kids. With our 7 years of experience setting up labs in Mexico, India, Morocco, Nepal and Argentina, Kids on Computers has learned the impact that a small group of active volunteers can make in the lives of many. Using free and open source software, donated equipment and grants, we set up computer labs in schools around the world. Come learn and talk to us about your dreams for helping others.
