Just look at issues in software you use.
Start with a simple project. Clone the code and try to build it (this is already a very big step in software development, so don't be angry with yourself if it takes a while). Poke around in the code, change some stuff, get a feel for the architecture. Then see if there is an issue that you could help with. Ask questions on the projects communication channel(s). Most developers will be kind if you ask for help or advice.
Good luck! 🤞
