Codess events allow women in technology to identify issues, share stories and learn from each other. As well as being fun, they are practical, positive and a great example of the type of environment I’d like to work in. I cheekily brought my 6 year old daughter to a weekend Codess hackathon so that she could soak up the atmosphere.

Codess is a community for female engineers initiated by Microsoft, established to explore ways to promote gender diversity in the engineering field.
Codess aims to inspire female coders and help them achieve their professional goals. Through networking events, mentoring and sharing advice and experiences, we hope to offer a forum to women unlike any other.
Empower every person and organization on the planet to achieve more. That’s what inspires us, drives our work and pushes us to challenge the status quo every day. At Microsoft we also work to empower our employees so they can achieve more. We believe we should each find meaning in our work and we ensure employees have the freedom and the reach to help make a difference in the world.
We know where we’re going as a company and how we’ll get there. We are committed to reinvent productivity and business processes, build the intelligent cloud platform and create more personal computing. These three goals are interconnected, they’re bold—and they’re why we are always looking to bring even more brilliant and creative people to our team.

I learned about Codess in my first week on the job. Even just knowing that such an organism exists in the company made me feel more welcome and reassured that Microsoft were actively engaged in solving the challenges women face in this field of work. I have embraced every opportunity I had to collaborate with Codess because I believe it is very important to the wellbeing of this generation of women in technology and the following. The events I have collaborated and/or participated to were immaculately organized, fun and attendees were amazed by Microsoft’s engagement in Gender Diversity.
As a female developer I mostly communicate with men. I was happy to participate in multiple Codess events and meet women like me, who are passionate about technology and interested in software. These events helped me understand that even though we all different, you can always find a commonality. These events inspire me and make me proud to be a woman.
