==Contributions Workshop==
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 one or both of the "Finding a Project" activities.
==== Finding a Project Demo ====
* After about 15-20 minutes, if any students are stuck (and some will be), they can do the [https://github.com/openhatch/open-source-comes-to-campus/blob/master/curriculum/handouts/FindingProjects_Student_Handout.odt Finding a Project] activity.▼
==== Finding a Project Activity ====
▲
=== The workshop itself ===
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.
If students do not want to join a specific project, they should join the "self-guided" group. This group of students will have one or more mentors who will help them find their own projects, building on the work done in the Finding a Project activity (if that activity was done).
=== Wrap up ===
After one hour of the workshop, the organizer will lead the wrap up. Often, the workshop will continue after the wrap up. If that's the case, make very, very clear that students are welcome to stay and keep working.
During the wrap up:
* Students report on their progress so far
* Organizers talk about opportunities to follow up:
** Future open source events at the school
** Future open source events at the general area
** [https://openhatch.org/wiki/Opportunities General FOSS opportunities]
** things that OpenHatch is doing
* Organizers ask students to fill out the exit survey
