I know the solution. Starting this year, students will be forced to contribute to a project they use, care about or, at the very least, truly want to use in the long term. Not one they found randomly on Github.

And they're still going to find things on GitHub. Because so many things are on GitHub.

They're blaming the students for the popularity of GitHub. If they want students to not use GitHub then just make that a requirement.
