Bring Assemble to You!

Looking for an enrichment program or a way to augment in-school learning, summer camps, or afterschool program? Look no further!

Assemble provides custom in-school and afterschool workshops based on STEAM, Afrofuturism, Creative Chemistry, Making, and more! Assemble’s hands-on curriculum promotes curiosity, problem-solving, discussion, and makes connections with STEAM careers and the everyday.

Our lessons are designed to support in-school learners and teachers in building off the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) K–12 science content standards as well as PA Arts Standards and Social Justice Standards. This multi-dimensional approach provides a deeper connection to the learning for the student, presenting classroom content in a new context. Youth are able to practice and apply concepts through hands-on creative projects.

Program Themes

Afrofuturism

Afrofuturism is the reimagining of a future filled with arts, science, and technology as seen through the lens of the African Diaspora. Learn about the developing intersection and experience of BIPOC people from around the world. Past, present, and future lives inspire an entire world of possibilities that look just like YOU! The development of our Afrofuturism curriculum is supported by The PPG Foundation and Google.

Creative Chemistry

Bring the Next Generation Science Standards to life in your classroom through chemistry! Supported by PPG Foundation, this interactive and creative program focuses on different ways that chemistry is behind all aspects of science.
