Ask HN: Is an open source initiative for students worth it?

from the ask-hn dept.

I am working on a project with some software enthusiasts. We are focusing on chemistry's 3D models, data analysis tools, local AI, local streaming, 3D visualization of laws of physics and much more. Does it add value?

How old are the students? High school? University?

Are you or the other member of the team collaborating with some established open source projects?

It looks like a long list of projects. It reminds my group of friends. We did a lot of projects at the end of high school/ beginning of the university.

Do you have some of the projects online? A nice blog post about one of the projects with some photos/graphics/screenshots would be a good submission for HN. (Most of the times it's better to write one blog post for each project that contains some technical details, instead of a blog post that includes all of them but is very shallow.)
