My First Open Source Experience
An article about my open-source experience with StudentCodein(SCI).
What is Student Code-in(SCI)?
Student Code-In is a global program that helps students grow with Open Source Contribution. It is a 2 months long Open-Source initiative which provides you with the best platform to improve your skills and abilities by contributing to a vast variety of Open Source Projects Projects. In this, all the registered participants would get an exquisite opportunity to interact with the mentors and the Organizing Team.
My Experience
I joined SCI as a participant under the project called Survival Analysis with Python. The project admin was Akshat Anand and I was mentored by Rohan Mathur and Ankur Chourasia. Abhijit Tripathy was a fellow participant along with me. Before starting the project I was a bit nervous as I had never contributed to open source but both the mentors and the Project Admin were so friendly and helpful that all my fear about open-source vanished as they were always ready to help us and they guided us throughout the project.
Through SCI I learnt a lot of things, not just about open source but also about project management, teamwork, time management and better code practices. I also acquired knowledge about various technologies as most of the elements used in our project were new to me.
I can for sure say that I had an awesome experience with SCI and I want to thank the organisers for creating this programme as well as for choosing me as a participant and I also want to thank all the members of my team without the support of whom this journey wouldn’t have been as awesome as it was.

PS: The results of SCI were declared today and I am one of the top 25 contributors.
