Also there's lot's of bugs with the tag "gnome-love" that maintainers
did for people that want to get involved around the module.
Search for the module you find interesting (probably an exciting module
would be easier to get students attention), choose a bug that fit's your
needs and code. Also provide multiple patches to get maintainers (if
it's a big feature) and follow maintainers advices.

If you have more questions feel free to contact this mailing list or the
module you want to hack if it's specific.

Good luck!
