 <h1>Let's code!</h1>
 <p>Youth Hacking 4 Freedom, FSFE's coding competition for young 
 Europeans, has just started. The kick-off event took place on the 26th 
 of January with an online meeting for the participants of this year's 
 competition. There they got the most important information about the 
 contest while starting to get to know each other.</p>

 <p>Almost 70 young people from all over Europe have signed up for the 
 new edition of Youth Hacking 4 Freedom. During the contest they not 
 only have the chance to work on their own Free Software projects, but 
 also to win great cash prizes.</p>
 <p>The kick-off meeting for this project took place on 26th January 
 with an online event where participants had the chance to get their 
 questions answered about the coding requirements and the coding period, 
 which will end on 30th June. It was a fun event which gave everybody 
 the chance to get to know each other a bit better and to meet other 
 participants from all across Europe. However, the FSFE team was also 
 excited to learn about the participants and to find out what they are 
 looking forward to in the upcoming months.</p>
 <p>One of this edition's participants, 1337misom*, explains his 
 motivation.</p>
 <blockquote>
 <p><em>“I have never really released any of my projects because 
 they mainly solved problems for myself and weren't optimized for ease 
 of use etc. So this will be my first shot at actually creating a 
 program that lasts for more than a few weeks".</em></p> 
 </blockquote> 
 <p>The opportunity to work on a project they are really interested in, as well 
 as gaining experience and having fun, is the main reason given by the 
 participants. Jannes*, who has already taken part in the first edition 
 of the contest last year, said that he joined "to have fun, meet 
 exciting people with even more exciting ideas and develop a (hopefully) 
 useful program in a limited time".</p>
 <p>Over the coming months, participants will have the opportunity to 
 discuss their projects once a month in an online meeting as well as 
 through the dedicated Youth Hacking 4 Freedom Matrix room, where FSFE's 
 team is also available to answer questions. These channels allow 
 teenagers to share their ideas and questions, receive feedback from 
 their peers, and see what other participants are working on.</p>

 <p>The road to the awards ceremony in Brussels has already begun, and 
 although most of the participants are not yet thinking about this 
 event, they are excited about the opportunity to present a good and 
 practical project and to have their code judged by a panel of experts. 
 And although winning is not their main motivation, of course, “nobody 
 is bitter for a sweet". <strong>Good luck!</strong>
