🔮🎃 TRICK OR TREAT 🎃🔮

OpenOctober is an opensource based competition organized byIEEE SFIT. It is an event dedicated to coding and celebrating the developer in you.

In this event, you can contribute to a live project and make a pull request to the repository you desire to work on.

This competition will go on for a week but don't be disheartened, you can keep contributing after the time is over but it will not be considered for evaluation.

We believe - and we hope you do too

that learning how to code, how to think,  and how to contribute to open source can empower the next generation of coders and creators.

If you are first time contributor, we want you to know that everyone started from somewhere!
