Introducing Assemble On the Go! Previously called Assemble Offsite Programs, we are so excited to announce our new department name and introduce our talented On the Go team. Did you know Assemble provides custom STEAM-based in-school and afterschool lessons, workshops, and classes all across Pittsburgh? The On the Go team designs and develops curriculum for K-12 students, then bring the lessons, materials, and teachers right to your classroom. Our lessons are designed to support students and teachers alike, and offer a multi-dimensional approach that fosters deeper connection with each topic. In addition to our school partnerships, Assemble On the Go also provides fun hands-on Make N Take activities, available for community and private events. If you're looking for an interactive, learning-centric activity for your next event, let's get in touch! You can help support On the Go's impactful work with Pittsburgh youth by making a donation to Assemble, or becoming a monthly donor, aka a Unicorn! We are also the seeking materials listed on the last image, specifically sewing machines before summer camps begin. Materials can be dropped off at Assemble Monday through Friday, 10 am to 5 pm. ➡ Learn more about all that Assemble On the Go has to offer and how to support at assemblepgh.org/on-the-go. #assemble #assembleOTG #pittsburgh #STEAM #forkids #outofschool (fb)
