Exploring open source projects

Welcome to the world of open source! In the world of coding, working together on projects through the internet is not just common; it’s also the way most cool stuff gets made! Open source projects are like big, digital playgrounds where coders from all over the world come to play, learn, and create together.

Imagine building a giant LEGO set where each piece is a line of code, and anyone can add a piece, suggest a change, or find a better way to connect them.

Sounds very interesting, but where to start?

First, you would start by finding projects you love. Start by thinking about what you enjoy. Do you like video games, drawing, or maybe helping the planet? There’s almost certainly an open source project that fits your interests. GitHub lets you search for projects using keywords, just like searching for your favorite videos online. All you need to do is use the search bar, as shown in Figure 11.1.
