Over the course of 2023, we ran multiple programs including Afterschool, Girls Maker Night, Saturday Crafternoons, Hack the Future, Day Camps, Learning Parties, and Youth Maker Nights. Through these programs, students were able to explore their interests and develop skills in a safe environment.

This year, students were able to cover a wide range of activities. They learned about making miniatures, making robotic stuffed animals, the science of paper airplanes, and much more. We hosted multiple guest experts throughout the year to share their experiences with the students and help build career connections. These guests included organizations like CodeJoy, an interactive experience where kids learn coding skills while controlling cardboard robots on the computer. We also focused on developing skills that could be used in future careers, such as coding, learning robotics with Hummingbird robotics kits, and 3D printing. During Girls Maker Night, students were able to explore story and character development through a multi-week lesson focused on the tabletop roleplaying game Dungeons and Dragons.

In 2023 Assemble became a Brick by Brick partner. This program provides training and LEGO kits intending to support social-emotional learning development; through collaboration on kits, students learn teamwork, conflict resolution, and leadership skills.
