1. Describe the existing technical student communities on your campus. Who is served? Where are there gaps?
Our project is to teach, help learn and improve students new skills on the Computer Science field. For that we are creating an Open Source Community (dzCode ) that knows how to contribute, use Open Source projects and even benefits from the them. But before doing that people have to learn how to use and be comfortable with Git and Github, that's why I'm applying for this so I can teach them and help them understand and "mindset" of the Open Source. So for me it's not only about a campus, but a whole country ( Algeria ) were we don't have a lot of Open Source users and contributors, So why not starting by teaching them the utility of it and how Open Source is leading the future.
2. Choose one GitHub Education program. How could it support your on-campus student communities? Certainly the Github Education Pack.
As new learners, the Github Education Pack is just the perfect choice with what it provides as tools and offers what new students will need, especially for a country like Algeria where they can't really offer what can Github give them with this pack.
3. What would you need to do in order to support the growth of student tech communities on campus?
We are by building a community, for the moment we are trying to collect resources and materials to start teaching them how Open Source works, then building projects together where everyone can help build and improve. So we are so hyped for this to help grow a big tech community that loves and uses Open Source projects as solutions.
