WELCOME TO ASSEMBLR!
Assemblr is a mobile application which helps you create a more accessible
and exciting learning experience. We understand that frequently, students
have a hard time grasping lessons through mere 2D images. So do
educators, who often have to explain abstract and difficult concepts
without adequate teaching aids, props, or models. This inspired us to build
something that could empower teachers to engage with students better —
and that’s how Assemblr was created!

With Assemblr, teachers could easily make their own illustrations and
teaching props in form of interactive 3D models. We also have dozens of
educational materials readily available in the app, which teachers could
access and use for free. With Assemblr, anything can be visualized!

We hope Assemblr could be the perfect tool for you to make education fun
and meaningful again — just like how it’s supposed to be.

Happy Assembling!
HOW TO ACCESS
ASSEMBLR IN

What is 3D and Augmented
Reality (AR)?

3D (Three-Dimensional
Graphics)
3D graphics allow teachers
to explain illustrations from
any angle. Images in 3D
format can be rotated,
scaled, and lifted so that
students are able to imagine
the object in its entirety.

Augmented Reality (AR)

With AR, you can place your
3D image as if it’s right in
front of you. Inside the class-
room, for instance!
HOW ASSEMBLR CAN HELP
EDUCATION
In addition to reducing communication barrier in classrooms, we hope
Assemblr sparks excitement for both students and teachers. By involving
students to make their own 3D models out of what they have learned, we’ll
be able to spark their creativity as well as assess their understanding of the
subject.

Having said that, we don’t encourage students to become so absorbed with

3D modeling that they get distracted from the subject. Knowledge and
learning are still the most important thing for us. Our aim is to motivate stu-
dents to become more engaged with their study without feeling confused
or bored. That’s why, we have already provided dozens of AR educational
materials, especially in Biology, Physics, Chemistry, Geography, and History.

As for teachers, there’s no need to worry about contents that are not avail-
able yet. After all, Assemblr is designed so that anyone can make their own
contents without having to learn 3D and AR from scratch.
