Location: Libertyville, IL

Role:  Student, University of Michigan Sophomore

I wanted to try Dresscode because I knew that coding can open up endless doors, so I wanted to try it out myself!

Dresscode was so straightforward and accessible that it alleviated my fear of programming and made me feel comfortable. By the end of the lessons, I felt like I had truly accomplished something and my completed website was a great way to show off what I had learned. Now that I’ve tried Dresscode, I’m itching to get more involved in coding and programming!

I love that Dresscode makes coding fun! Instead of watching a boring tutorial or reading from a textbook, Dresscode’s platform is engaging and made me genuinely excited to progress through each lesson. And of course, I love that Dresscode empowers women and girls to get involved in STEM, since we are so often in the minority and overlooked in this space.

Dresscode has taught me. that I have the power and the ability to do great things in the STEM, coding, and programming spaces. Dresscode has allowed me to become part of the network of women and girls who share an interest in coding, and it is empowering to know that there are so many people out there with my interests. Every time I look down at my Dresscode bracelet it is a reminder that “I am Smart,” and that is something I think every girl out there should remember.

Michelle worked as a summer growth intern for Dresscode.

Danielle

Location: Cleveland, OH

Role: Product Owner

I wanted to try Dresscode because I have always had an interest in software, and what makes things look and work the way they do. I love that I can make a statement by wearing my bracelet, and know that I not only got to learn something new, but I supported a woman-owned business.

Equality is a passion of mine, and being able to support an organization that shares that passion and is making a real difference is rewarding in and of itself. The fact that I get to learn something new AND get a beautiful bracelet is a bonus!

Dresscode has taught me that I CAN learn new things, and I CAN code, and I CAN invest in myself… all the while making a difference in the world.

Danielle was an early adopter of Dresscode and has served as a beta tester for the platform.  She also loves being a mom!

I wanted to try Dresscode because  I have always been interested in coding! Dresscode makes learning how to code accessible, rewarding, and definitely fun! More importantly, it’s not only a learning program, but also an empowering tool. I love that Dresscode is geared toward women and girls and makes you feel like you’ve got the world at your fingertips…literally.  Dresscode has taught me that coding is not as hard as it seems.  I can now change fonts, create paragraphs, spruce up a header, etc and it’s all because of Dresscode!!
