@Joseph, by the time a student is ready for internship or good enough to contribute to a software project online, they are already good enough.
But there is that stage from the moment a programmer is born (figuratively speaking), to the moment they are good enough to get an internship or contribute to an open source project. It is at this stage where, I theorize, that programmer mortality rate is at its highest.
And it is at this stage that mentorship would have the most efficacy.
I get you. But I think it will be a bit harder to motivate outside mentors (who are not the teachers) to do it at this level. But all the best if you manage to do it.
