Designer Jon Marshall Collaborates with Ambessa Play on Educational STEM Flashlight Kit
Pentagram partner Jon Marshall has teamed up with Ambessa Play to create a do-it-yourself flashlight kit aimed at encouraging STEM education. Ambessa Play produces learning kits designed to foster creativity and self-assurance in young creators. The company's name originates from Eritrean and Ethiopian languages where it signifies 'lion' and serves as an expression of encouragement. This ethos drives their philanthropic approach: for each kit sold, one is donated to a displaced child without access to schooling.
