Hi, my name is Toby. I live in Washington DC. I found out about Google Code-in when a mentor from copyleft games came to my school. I program robots at school (FRC), I’ve done some data visualization of ambulance response times recently as part of a project I’m working on with a friend to see how feasible it would be to link drones into the 911 service to deliver things like epi-pens, adrenaline, and other things to people in need so long ambulance response times don’t claim as many lives.

Hello!

I’m Danny from Australia, and I’ve been doing Google Code In for a few years (I was one of the 2012 winners actually). OpenMRS sounds like an interesting web application project, and I’ve been wanting to get my feet wet with Java.

I’m more familiar with JS / Node, HTML / CSS, etc. Looking forward to contributing!

@cshah: Wow! Say hi to Liezl for me? :smile:

Hi! I’m Steph, 15. This is my first year joining GCI :blush:

I’ll be focusing on UI and maybe some Android apps. Am somewhat confused about the coding parts… Also, what’s the average amount of tasks we should do? Is 10 a reasonable number?

Hi! I’m Zoe, 17 from Malaysia. This is my first time participating in Google Code In. Unfortunately in my school the computer classes only go up to Form 2 which is equivalent to grade 8 and after that we have no computer science or classes at all in government schools. I hope that GCI and Open MRS will broaden my grasp on technology and information as well as making a difference in the world.
