Happy Earth Day from The Mad Botter! Our annual free and open source software contest for students is back! To enter to win, we are asking you to create and share an open source project that addresses climate change and/or pollution.
This years winner will get a System76 Thelio!
Your project can be pure software or some interesting hardware gadget or a combination of the two. Regardless of what your project is, it must be licensed under a standard free software license such as BSD, GPL or MIT.

- In the event that you win, The Mad Botter INC is granted the right to post a picture of you in the winning announcement and other applicable venues; if you are below the age of 18 your parent or guardian also provides permission for this by consenting to your entering the contest.
- The winning entry will be the one that shows the most practical potential and creativity and will be selected by The Mad Botter team.
