(An early heads-up that Google Code-in 2017 has been announced.)
GCI is an annual contest for 13-17 year old students. It will take place from Nov28 to Jan17 and is not only about coding tasks.
For some achievements from last round, see https://blog.wikimedia.org/2017/02/03/google-code-in/ For complete info about Google Code-in, check https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Google_Code-in/Mentors
While we wait whether Wikimedia will get accepted:
* You have small, self-contained bugs you'd like to see fixed? * Your documentation needs specific improvements? * Your user interface has small design issues? * Your Outreachy/Summer of Code project welcomes small tweaks? * You'd enjoy helping someone port your template to Lua? * Your gadget code uses some deprecated API calls? * You have tasks in mind that welcome some research?
Also note that "Beginner tasks" (e.g. "Set up Vagrant" etc) and "generic" tasks are very welcome (e.g. "Choose & fix 2 PHP7 issues from the list in https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T120336 "). Because we will need hundreds of tasks. :)
And we also have more than 400 unassigned open 'easy' tasks listed: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/maniphest/query/HCyOonSbFn.z/#R
Please take a moment to find / update [Phabricator etc.] tasks in your p roject(s) which would take an experienced contributor 2-3 hours. Check
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Google_Code-in/Mentors
and please ask if you have any questions!
Thanks!, andre
Do we support any equivalent events which positively encourage contributors from other age groups?

Not sure how to interpret 'equivalent'. Outreach programs: I'm aware of Outreachy and Google Summer of Code. There might be more / other initiatives (Hackathons etc.) organized by members of our communities.
