Assemble’s offsite programming also continued to grow in 2022, with Assemble teachers delivering tailored workshops to twelve partner organizations and 898 students throughout Pittsburgh and Allegheny County with curriculum themes like STEAM, Afrofuturism, and Visions. Assemble’s offsite lessons are rooted in the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) for K–12, PA Arts Standards, and Social Justice Standards. We support both in-school learners and teachers in our offsite programs. This multi-dimensional approach provides a deeper connection to learning for the student by presenting classroom content in new contexts.

In 2022, Assemble introduced students at Environmental Charter School (ECS) to a world of visual media, featuring exciting elements like puppetry, stop-motion animation, and installation art with models. The Visions after school program received an overwhelmingly positive response from students, and the enthusiasm was so infectious that it extended well into 2023.
Collaborating with The Center That Cares, a local nonprofit devoted to providing essential educational services, Assemble served community members at both of their locations. Assemble's impact extended to The Makers Clubhouse, where they provided programming to over 150 students in just two days!
When asked about the highlights of 2022, Offsite Programs Manager Ja’Sonta Roberts expressed that she saw “...students being able to be in safe spaces and show up as their full selves…We support students of all identities, and I think it's really important to promote that.”
