OSMO for iPad

What Is It? Osmo is an interactive, hands on set of iPad games. OSMO includes a stand with a red plastic piece that redirects the iPad’s front-facing camera to the game pieces as a child interacts with them on a table or floor. Choose from game sets that include:

  • Letters
  • Numbers
  • Tanagrams
  • Coding Jam: Getting Started Sheet
  • Pizza Company
  • OSMO Projector with Zoom: a tool to help with remote teaching. Working directly off your iPad tablet, Projector lets you take physical notes, and share video with anyone who has joined you through Apple AirPlay, Skype, and Zoom to share digital lessons in real-time. 

Ages: 5-12
