Please read all reference materials for that project.

You will need to make sure you have the hardware that's capable of
running Xen. If you have read the project description and have more
specific questions, please ask.

Yes. Find a laptop with virtualisation support. Install your choice of
virtualisation software, and then install a Xen system from source in it.

For contributing, I suggest you clone xen.git from

   https://xenbits.xen.org/git-http/xen.git

and have a look at xen/ directory, which contains the hypervisor source
code you will work on. Submit a patch or patches. They can be as easy as
fixing typos or as complex as fixing a real bug that you find.

Wei.
