"Dress Code" is the third event in Google's "CS+X" series, a program that travels the country talking to students about how their passions can become coding careers. Prior CS+X events were "Hacking the Note," which highlighted CS+Music, and "Program the Beat," which encouraged students to see how dance comes alive with code. The next event, a CS+Sports discussion entitled "Tech Slam," will take place October 26 in Mountain View, CA.
