Wikimedia's Developer Relations is organizing a 2-day workshop around Google Code-in for high school students of the Chicktech organization b/w December 9-10th, 2017 in San Francisco (657 Bryant Street).
ChickTech focuses on students who have the aptitude to be technical but do not consider themselves to be. The goal of this workshop is to help high school students accomplish a mix of coding and non-coding Google Code-in tasks, and get excited about contributing to Wikimedia and open source.
