 Google Summer of Code is a program that allows open-source beginners to co
 ntribute to the development of open-source projects\, mentored by particip
 ating organizations.\nParticle physics is an exciting field where large co
 llaborations of scientists collect and analyze petabytes of data from high
 -energy physics experiments\, such as those at the Large Hadron Collider\,
  hosted at the CERN laboratory in Geneva\, Switzerland. Some of the questi
 ons that we collectively ask are:\n\nWhat are the fundamental blocks that 
 make up our Universe?\nWhat is the nature of dark matter and dark energy?\
 nWhat is the nature of the asymmetry between matter and antimatter?\nWhat 
 was early Universe like?\n\nTo answer these questions\, particle physicist
 s build software to simulate and analyze what happens in particle physics 
 detectors.\nThe CERN software for experiments (CERN EP-SFT) group has part
 icipated in the GSoC since 2011. Since 2017 the program has expanded to in
 volve the high-energy physics community under the umbrella of the HSF (HE
 P Software Foundation).\nThis year\, we will hold the HSF/GSoC Training Or
 ientation on May 11 with two main goals:\n\n\nProvide context for HEP comp
 uting and how GSoC participants' work fits into the bigger picture\n\nProv
 ide pointers to the resources and events available through HSF Training\n\
 n \nThis event is open to all interns at CERN.\nThe workshop times are in
  CERN time.\n\nhttps://indico.cern.ch/event/1671347/
