ASSEMBLE’s Summer STEAM Camps Spotlight
We asked organizations in the city of Pittsburgh to share the different summer programs they will be offering in 2017. Throughout the summer, we will share weekly spotlights featuring different summer opportunities.
This week’s Summer Spotlight features Assemble, as they share how children and families can have a FUN summer with lots of learning.
Assemble is a nonprofit organization dedicated to fostering learning and creativity. Assemble connects artists, technologists, and makers adults and kids through galleries, events and workshops. These community gatherings focus on teaching STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, and math) principles to individuals of all ages. Their Summer STEAM Camps begin June 19th for children ages 6-13. See below for more information about ASSEMBLE’s programming.
Describe your program in three words:
Art + Technology = FUN!
Who should attend your program?
Anyone interested in science, technology, engineering, art and math! From beginners to burgeoning hackers, all skill levels are accepted and welcome. We simply ask that your child comes ready for learning and fun.
What are you doing this summer? What’s a typical day look like?
