Hasbro announced the STEM-based program with
Girl Up on International Day of the Girl to mobilize a movement of
girl leadership, innovation, and creativity.
Hasbro, Inc. (NASDAQ: HAS), a leading toy and game company,
announced Hasbro Girl Innovators of Play today at the Girls Leading
Change event.
In partnership with Girl Up, a girl-centered leadership
development initiative of the United Nations Foundation, the
program will launch in early 2024 and build on the recent Hasbro
Women Innovators of Play, a Challenge that calls for the next great
women-led mass-market toy or game. Girl Innovators of Play will
include a robust STEM-based bootcamp and invitation to girls
between the ages of 13-24 to submit a social impact project idea
focused on a cause they are passionate about and receive up to
$1,000 in funding to transform that vision into reality.
“Girl Innovators of Play is the next step in Hasbro’s commitment
to collaborating with and celebrating innovative women and girls
with groundbreaking ideas,” said Kim Boyd, Head of Toy at Hasbro.
“This generation of girls has the power to tackle complex problems
in their communities – and perhaps go on to create the next
massively successful toy or game – and we are excited to help spark
and support their creativity every step of the way.”
“Supporting girls in STEM isn't just about breaking barriers;
it's about pioneering progress,” says Girl Up CEO Melissa Kilby.
“Programs like Girl Innovators of Play will inspire generations of
young innovators to build a brighter, more inclusive future,
creating solutions that not only tackle our world's most pressing
challenges but also shape a more equitable world for all.”
As part of its partnership with Girl Up, Hasbro will
provide:
- A Girl Innovators of Play Bootcamp: comprised of a dynamic
hands-on program for girl leaders globally to create human-centered
design-led solutions to problems in their own communities, as well
as learn from and engage with prominent women leaders at Hasbro and
the inventor community.
- Opportunity to apply for seed funding, up to $1,000: following
the bootcamp, Girl Up participants will have the opportunity to
apply for seed funding, supported by Hasbro, through the Girl Up
Project Awards program.
- Ongoing support from Hasbro’s Women’s Leadership Network,
employee volunteers and women executives, through program design
and implementation, speaking engagements, mentoring and more to
continue bridging the gender gap in STEM.
More program details will be shared in January. Those interested
