I’ve been using the MIT App Inventor distribution, Kodular, for over five years. I actually started back in school. Now that I’m in college, I recently learned about Google Summer of Code (GSoC) and was excited to see that App Inventor has been a participant in recent years.
I wanted to ask whether App Inventor plans to participate in GSoC 2026 as well.
I have experience with JavaScript and am currently learning Java. I’m also planning to contribute to the project once I complete my Java learning and successfully build my own local copy of App Inventor.
We plan to apply next year. Google has different priorities for participating organizations every year, so we're not guaranteed a place. When we have information to share, I'll post it, but it won't be until early next year.
If you are interested in contributing to MIT App Inventor as part of GSoC or not, our info post for 2025 GSoC contains a lot of useful information about getting started: Google Summer of Code (GSoC) 2025
