Open Source Comes to Campus/Curriculum: Difference between revisions

The Contributions Workshop is the part of the day where students begin making contributions to FOSS projects. If there is time, it may make sense to include onesome or bothversion of the "[[Open_Source_Comes_to_Campus/Curriculum/Finding_a_Project | Finding a Project"]] demo/activity. Finding a Project can be run as a demo, a student activity, or both. If both, we recommend introducing the activity, having a mentor demo it by walking through it at the front of the room/on the projector, and then having the student do it. We recommend having the students do the activity in pairs or small activitiesgroups.

For the workshop itself, one of the organizers introduces and explains that some of the mentors at the event have open source projects they maintain or contribute to and that students can work in small groups to contribute to those projects. The mentors then take 2-5 minutes to give a brief overview of their project and the types of tasks students can work on. The organizer assigns different mentors to different spots in the room and writes down the layout on the board/displays it on the projector so that students can find a group. The organizer should also include a link to [https://openhatch.org/wiki/First_Tasks first tasks], [https://openhatch.org/wiki/Additional_tasks additional tasks] or whatever resource is being used for the event to keep track of projects.
