[Google Code-in](http://code.google.com/gci), Google's contest to introduce
pre-university students [(age
13-18)](http://google-opensource.blogspot.com/2011/02/google-code-in-final-statistics.html) to the many kinds of contributions that make open source software development
possible, concluded on January 10, 2011. We had 361 students from [48
countries](http://www.google-melange.com/document/show/gci_program/google/gci2010/participatingcountries) complete over 2,000 tasks during the 7 week contest. The tasks included:

1. Code: Tasks related to writing or refactoring code
2. Documentation: Tasks related to creating/editing documents
3. Outreach: Tasks related to community management and outreach/marketing
4. Quality Assurance: Tasks related to testing and ensuring code is of high quality
5. Research: Tasks related to studying a problem and recommending solutions
6. Training: Tasks related to helping others learn more
7. Translation: Tasks related to localization
8. User Interface: Tasks related to user experience research or user interface design and interaction

The top 10 countries with the highest number of participants were, in order: The United
States, Romania, Bulgaria, The Russian Federation, India, Poland, Canada, Germany, Italy, and
Australia.

The students did such excellent work we had [14
Grand Prize winners](http://google-opensource.blogspot.com/2011/02/google-code-in-grand-prize-winners.html) instead of just 10 as we had originally planned. These students will
be flown to Google's headquarters in Mountain View, CA with their parent or legal guardian in
early May to meet with Google engineers and to enjoy some fun in the California sun.

Thank you to all of the students that participated in the contest and the mentors and
administrators at the open source organizations.
