How To Join
We’re thrilled that you are interested in joining our community! Joining is easy and requires 4 simple steps:
Create a Neon account
Neon is a cloud-based system that we use to manage memberships, classes and lots more. If you haven’t already created a Neon account, get started here.
Orientation and Facility Tour
Learn more about Asmbly and see the shop with no obligation to join! We’ll give some background on Asmbly – things like shop etiquette, communication channels, how to schedule shop time, etc. – followed by a tour around the entire makerspace. Attending an orientation session is required before gaining facility access.
Orientation + Tour sessions happen several days a week. A complete schedule of sessions is available on our Classes page under the “Orientation” category. You must sign up for a Neon account before you can book an orientation.
Sign our Membership Agreement and Liability Waiver
Before your membership can become official, you must first sign the Agreement & Liability Waiver here.
Purchase your Asmbly Membership
Login and select “Purchase/Edit Membership.” You may wish to wait until you have completed step 4 before you purchase your membership.
Join our Discourse
Discourse is our online forum and our primary mode of communicating with members. Just click the “Sign Up” link in the top right corner.
NOTE: Please use the same email address for your Neon account, signing waivers, joining Discourse and Skedda. We synchronize these various platforms using your email address.
Alta Open
Alta Open is the system we use to manage facility access. You will receive an email invitation to create an Alta Open account after attending an orientation, signing the waiver, and purchasing a membership.

Take required intro classes
Asmbly has two general shop safety classes: Woodshop Safety and Metal Shop Safety. These safety classes are required before using any equipment in the woodshop or metal shop, respectively, regardless of experience. A list of all upcoming safety classes can be found here.
In addition to the general shop safety classes, most equipment at Asmbly has a required intro class you must take before gaining equipment access. You can find our current class schedule here.
Start making!
Welcome to Asmbly! We’re so excited to have you as a member!
If you ever have questions about the shop, don’t hesitate to post in our Discourse forum. We have a very active and helpful community online that is eager to help each other find solutions.
