About this Project

This project is part of the 2020 GNOME Community Engagement Challenge and meant for use by the The Institute for Computing in Research Summer Internship Program team, Challenge organizers, and Challenge judges.

The 2020 GNOME Community Engagement Challenge is a three-part challenge created in partnership with Endless. The Challenge encourages individuals or teams to create stimulating ideas that will connect the next generation of coders to the FOSS community and keep them involved for years to come.

The Institute for Computing in Research Summer Internship Program

We are a consortium of students, scientists, and teachers who work together to promote computational scientific research in our community. Our summer internship program currently consists of ten students who partner with a scientist-mentor during a four-week summer program. The key goal of the program is to train students in research, computer programming, and computational thinking. They focus on a research project for the majority of their time, and, during the rest of their time, they attend guest lectures and learn a host of research skills. Student interns work a 35-hour work-week and receive an educational stipend. They craft their project with guidance from their mentor and then write code on the GNU/Linux operating system. We train and recruit students from schools throughout our community and have a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds and under-represented minorities here in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

How to Use this Project

Members of the The Institute for Computing in Research Summer Internship Program team should use this GitLab project to enter their Phase 2 submissions. For this phase, we ask you to submit a proof of concept for your project. Your proof of concept can be a working prototype, project examples, and/or documentation demonstrating your concept.

• All code-based projects should store their code and assets in the repository of this project.
• All non-code projects should upload all relevant materials as PDF or jpeg files to the project repository.
