Hi,
Iām Collins Nji (popularly know as Collin Grimm online 
) and Iām
from Cameroon. I like code-in because I get the chance to meet many
people from other countries that are about the same age as me with
a common interest, Open Source.
I wanted to participate with OpenMRS because I like the whole idea of the project and I like helping out any person in need in what ever way I can, which in this case, is writing code lol
I participated in Code-In last year [2015] and was a finalist. Iām interested in wildlife photography and in app development

Hi Everyone! My name is Shivani and Iām from Canada. I heard about Google Code-in through a friend of mine but Iāve never actually participated in this before, however I look forward to learning and enhancing my skills. Some of my interests other than my love for technology including reading; either for pleasure or to keep up to date on recent affairs, programming, learning new languages, cooking, and listening to music! I really thought it was incredible how OpenMRS is a platform that is working on saving lives with Health IT. Personally, I have experience in HTML and Java, and Iām eagerly learning C++. In the future, I hope to learn Python and Ruby.

Hey guys! Iām Lyndon and Iām from New Jersey. GCI seems really cool and fun and it seems like I can learn a lot. Its my first time trying out GCI; Iāve definitely heard it before, but now Iām old enough :). In my free time I love playing games and socializing and I train for ping pong and tennis and I occasionally play soccer. Iām really interested in consumer tech, such as audio (could be considered an audiophile maybe) and smartphones. I look forward to doing some GCI!
Hi!
Iām Tenzin Z, I used to live in US as a refugee-in-exile; but Iām now a citizen! GCI is interesting, in that I, and many others get the opportunity to explore open source, & familiarize myself with it. OpenMRS captivated me; this organization strives for everything I advocate for - itās amazing that we can help poverty-stricken countries develop EMRs through OpenMRS. I began to code last year; and want to go in the computer science career field - I love technology, web designing & graphic designing. A big interest of mine is healthcare - and being the president of my schoolās HOSA (health occupational students of America) club, I was intrigued by the mission of OpenMRS to provide effective medical record keeping for those in need.

Hello! My name is Scott. Iām 15 years old and Iām from Indonesia. I found Google Code-In interesting because it tries to introduce open source development to pre-university students. Iām immediately sucked into it, and all I can think after i woke up is āGCIā. OpenMRS is an organization that also catches my eyes, it develops an application that helps manage hospitals around the globe.
Aside from programming & graphic design, Iām also extremely active in competitive debating. I won several competitions from district to national level.
