+## Overview
+
+Project ideas are scoped for a university-level student with a basic background in CS and bitcoin
+fundamentals - achievable over 12-weeks. Below are just a few types of ideas:
+
+ - Low-hanging fruit: Relatively short projects with clear goals; requires basic technical knowledge
+ and minimal familiarity with the codebase.
+ - Core development: These projects derive from the ongoing work from the core of your development
+ team. The list of features and bugs is never-ending, and help is always welcome.
+ - Risky/Exploratory: These projects push the scope boundaries of your development effort. They
+ might require expertise in an area not covered by your current development team. They might take
+ advantage of a new technology. There is a reasonable chance that the project might be less
+ successful, but the potential rewards make it worth the attempt.
+ - Infrastructure/Automation: These projects are the code that your organization uses to get its
+ development work done; for example, projects that improve the automation of releases, regression
+ tests and automated builds. This is a category where a Summer of Bitcoin student can be really
+ helpful, doing work that the development team has been putting off while they focus on core
+ development.
+ - Quality Assurance/Testing: Projects that work on and test your project's software development
+ process. Additionally, projects that involve a thorough test and review of individual PRs.
+ - Fun/Peripheral: These projects might not be related to the current core development focus, but
+ create new innovations and new perspectives for your project.

+
+**Descriptive Title**
+<!-- Description: 3-7 sentences describing the project background and tasks to be done. -->
+
+**Expected Outcomes**
+<!-- Short bullet list describing what is to be accomplished -->
+
+**Resources**
+<!-- 2-3 reading materials for candidate to learn about the repo, project, scope etc -->
+<!-- Recommended reading such as a developer/contributor guide -->
+<!-- [Another example a paper citation](https://arxiv.org/pdf/1802.08091.pdf) -->
+<!-- [Another example an existing issue](https://github.com/opencv/opencv/issues/11013) -->
+<!-- [An existing related module](https://github.com/opencv/opencv_contrib/tree/master/modules/optflow) -->
+
+**Skills Required**
+<!-- 3-4 technical skills that the candidate should know -->
+<!-- hands on experience with git -->
+<!-- mastery plus experience coding in C++ -->
+<!-- basic knowledge in matrix and tensor computations, college course work in cryptography -->
+<!-- strong mathematical background -->
+<!-- Bonus - has experience with React Native. Best if you have also worked with OSSFuzz -->
+
+**Mentor(s)**
+<!-- names of mentor(s) for this project go here -->
+
+**Difficulty**
+<!-- Easy, Medium, Hard -->
+
+**Competency Test (optional)**
+<!-- 2-3 technical tasks related to the project idea or repository you’d like a candidate to
+ perform in order to demonstrate competency, good first bugs, warm-up exercises -->
+<!-- ex. Read the instructions here to get Bitcoin core running on your machine -->
+<!-- ex. pick an issue labeled as “newcomer” in the repository, and send a merge request to the
+ repository. You can also suggest some other improvement that we did not think of yet, or
+ something that you find interesting or useful -->
+<!-- ex. fixes for coding style are usually easy to do, and are good issues for first time
+ contributions for those learning how to interact with the project. After you are done with the
+ coding style issue, try making a different contribution. -->
+<!-- ex. setup a full Debian packaging development environment and learn the basics of Debian
+ packaging. Then identify and package the missing dependencies to package Specter Desktop -->
+<!-- ex. write a pull parser for CSV files. You'll be judged by the decisions to store the parser
+ state and how flexible it is to wrap this parser in other scenarios. -->
+<!-- ex. Stretch Goal: Implement some basic metaprogram/app to prove you're very familiar with BDK.
+ Be prepared to make adjustments as we judge your solution. -->
