Learn by Doing: Getting Students into FOSS
summary
Programs pay students to do real work: Google Summer of Code funds four months of mentored development with a community bonding period, evaluations and location-adjusted stipends (an Australian completer in 2017 receives about US$6,000). A younger-student variant, Google Code-in, runs winter-break microtasks and prizes. Hundreds of projects participate (roughly 200 in GSoC that year), and instructors get implementation help from hubs like teachingopensource.org, plus local programs such as CoderDojo, Outreachy and Floss desktops for kids.
