Assemble, a community space for arts + technology

Assemble is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization dedicated to fostering learning and creativity. Assemble envisions diverse neighborhoods of empowered people who create, connect, learn, and transform together. We build confidence through making by uniting communities of artists, technologists, makers, and learners both in our space at 4824 Penn Ave and beyond. Assemble is a platform that elevates ideas, activities, and relationships that build agency of the individual and empowers relationships that build a community. Our platform is exciting, can change one’s disposition, encourages creativity, and removes barriers. It provides choices to construct a better future for oneself and invites engagement of learners of all ages, from little people (kids, teens) to big kids (young adults, grown ups). We accomplish this with creativity through Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math (STEAM) disciplines and learning opportunities to build valuable 21st century skills. We encourage creative problem solving and critical thinking skills through the tangible application of concepts, a hands-on participatory environment, and interdisciplinary engagement. Our culture of open-ended experimentation celebrates both successes and failures as opportunities to learn, grow, and try again.
