In 2022, Assemble continued to develop the Afrofuturism program, which was introduced the previous year. This initiative was born out of the need to address the underrepresentation of Black and brown individuals in STEAM fields and their frequent exclusion from visions of the future. Assemble aimed to reinforce the significant contributions made by those in the diaspora, ensuring that students could see themselves reflected in these spaces. The program followed the Sankofa principle, looking to the past to inform the present and shape a brighter future. It offered a scaffolded learning track for youth of all ages, with well-structured learning pathways, career and education guidance, hands-on activities, and opportunities for students to build on their knowledge, with Assemble serving as a valuable resource.

The goal of this multifaceted curriculum was to empower students to use their voices, facilitating discussions about representation in society and the biases they encounter. It also encouraged them to dismantle systemic racism and fostered their capacity to overcome the intentional barriers ingrained in STEAM fields. The impact of this program extended to various locations, including BOOST, Legacy Arts Project, Brothers and Sisters Emerging, Winchester Thurston summer camps, and Urban Academy, where Assemble teachers tailored the Afrofuturism curriculum in response to a request for a hands-on, science enrichment program designed for fem-identifying Black and brown youth.

In the spirit of inclusivity, Assemble was committed to expanding the program, making it an integral part of regular school year and summer partner curricula, thereby fostering an intentional and normal presence of Black and brown faces within STEAM fields and education.
