Satya Nadella sounds the alarm, literally, to kick-off Microsoft hackathon
Satya Nadella is pushing a lot of change across the Microsoft org and a new event is kicking off this week called //OneWeek. The week is dedicated to updating the employees on the corporate mission, boosting morale and holding one massive hackathon. The hackathon kicked off today and we have gathered images from the event that offers a peek inside the world of a Microsoft employee.
The hackathon is a massive event for Microsoft with over 10,000 employees said to be participating in the event. For those of you who are not familiar with what a hackathon is, it's an event where employees will break from their typical responsibilities to work on projects that they are passionate about but the catch is they only have 36hrs to complete the project. These types of events are designed to inspire creativity and allow employees to think outside the box and come up with creative solutions or applications that fill a gap not currently offered by the company.
