Osmo Announces $100,000 Product Donation to National Girls Collaborative Project (NGCP) In Honor of Women’s History Month Donation Benefits Programs Across 6 States Promoting STEM Learning for Girls & Helping Boost Their Confidence in Pursuing STEM Careers

Osmo Cares, the charitable arm of award-winning STEAM brand Osmo, announces a donation of 1500 units of its best-selling Creative Kit for iPad to National Girls Collaborative Project (NGCP), in honor of Women’s History Month. This product donation, valued at $100,000, will be distributed across six states (California, Tennessee, Oregon, Florida, Montana and Texas), to benefit programs like Girls, Inc., Girl Scouts, and other local non-profit programs, which introduce girls to STEM learning.

“When girls have access to STEM learning at a young age, they can start to develop and nurture an interest in pursuing STEM, which is very important to Osmo,” says Karen O’Dell, Osmo Director of PR and Osmo Cares. “By supporting programs that promote equitable access to STEM, we can help future generations build confidence in pursuing a STEM career, regardless of one’s race, gender, and economic background. We particularly admire NGCP’s broad reach to over 42,000 U.S. organizations that encourage STEM learning among youth, impacting millions of girls and boys across this country.”

“We are so grateful to Osmo for a gift that not only encourages creativity and collaboration, but will provide high-quality STEM activities to programs who are often not able to access these sorts of products,” says Karen Peterson, Founder and CEO of NGCP.


Osmo’s Creative Kit for iPad (image), used at home and in classrooms across the U.S., features award-winning games that inspire learning, drawing, creativity, and more. It contains the Osmo Base for iPad, Creative Board, 4 erasable markers, a fuzzy eraser pouch, stackable storage for each game, and three best-selling game apps (Monster, Newton, Masterpiece).
