Student Dev Catalogs
One starting point for Jay-Lokhande’s linked student catalogs — OSS, grants, security, APIs, design, cloud, makers, games, AI, and coding. No duplicate tables here; each catalog owns its own README and JSON. You can navigate, find Hub (all catalogs), and browse Sister repos.
Scams: Fake internships, grants, and “pay to apply” offers are everywhere. Start with OSS scams guide before trusting random DMs.
