Our thanks to everyone in Google who makes this happen every year. With so few slots available from Google some very good candidates and proposals could not be selected, so if you were not selected this year, better luck next year (remember to come early!). Congratulations to the students who did make it, and our collective thanks go to the primary mentors above for taking the time this summer, as well to the secondary mentors not listed above as well as everyone who helped out with the proposal review and the ranking and voting this year.
