There is something happening in our community. Creative, empowered people coming together to make, build confidence, learn, and grow. Be a part of the movement to shape the future, together. You can make a difference with us as we bring together artists, technologists & creatives from the region for one night of creativity, change-making, and fun.

The MakerDate Auction is Assemble’s largest fundraiser of the year. It’s a remix of a date auction where folks can bid to spend time with local makers to learn new skills and use them to make things. Bid to learn how to code, brew beer, or create a mural and more with the creative community of Pittsburgh. The possibilities are endless! It is also an amazing event where all attendees get to connect with local artists, makers, and technologists as well as future-focused companies – like yours!

STEAM Summer Camps

Do you remember summer camp? Imagine if you were able to get hands-on engagement with STEAM learning, coding, costume making, and more!

Assemble’s Summer Camps are a tangible experience for campers to build their confidence, apply their knowledge, and explore their passions and agency in their community. We focus on STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math) through hands-on experiences, building 21st-century workforce skills, and providing career connections. All this is to enable all youth to succeed in school through feeling confident about participation STEAM topics. Our Summer Camps provide the Garfield community with a free, safe, and educational space for neighborhood residents.

Together, we can open the door for more fun, laughter, and unforgettable moments for summer campers. When kids have the space to express themselves and explore the world of STEAM, their creativity and confidence begins to shine.
