“Logitech and Girls Who Code are both committed to building a
pipeline of female creators, makers and builders, so we are
thrilled to team up and build this relationship globally,” said
Delphine Donne-Crock, general manager of creativity and
productivity at Logitech. “Logitech’s Master series is a collection
of advanced tools, including products and software, designed and
developed to help the builders of tomorrow — creators and coders.
As we integrate technology into our daily lives now more than ever
before, Logitech looks forward to contributing to the overall
development, empowerment and success of the future leaders in Girls
Who Code programs.”
Throughout the next year Logitech will work closely with Girls
Who Code to deliver a range of educational and career
opportunities. Logitech will sponsor a Girls Who Code Summer
Immersion Program, host virtual sessions and events for students,
provide internship opportunities and more. To support Girls Who
Code activities, Logitech will donate an amount measured on a
portion of the global sales from every Master Series product sold,
including MX Master 3, MX Keys and MX Anywhere 3, to Girls Who
Code, supporting its ongoing programming and outreach efforts.
"Girls Who Code is on a mission to close the gender gap in tech
and change the image of what a programmer looks like and does—that
work would not be possible without the support of partners like
Logitech," said Reshma Saujani, founder and CEO of Girls Who Code.
"We're grateful for their allyship in this space, and look forward
to working together to bring more girls and young women into
technology."
