Peer-supported coding, studying, and skill-building — all levels welcome
Assembly is a calm, peer-supported coding & study group hosted by the Study & Chill Lounge. We meet regularly to practice fundamentals, understand course material, debug together, and build confidence through consistent work. Beginners, intermediate, and advanced students are all welcome.
Next meeting on the 14th of January we have a special tour to the Media and Audio Labs by 👑Mr. Diogo👑.
We as HSRW students are provided with cutting edge labs. On top of that we are also provided with regular support and experienced staff that is happy to provide us with all the guidance. 😱😱😱

Why this exists
The jump from school to university can be a real shock: less supervision, more self-management, and courses often start at a fast pace.
In programs like Medieninformatik, many students experience this early-semester pressure and feel like they are struggling alone.
This is not a one-time thing
— students from higher semesters have seen the same loop repeat.
Assembly exists to add stability: a weekly rhythm, a place to ask questions without shame, and a squad you can study with throughout the semester.
When: Wednesdays, 14:00 (come and leave whenever)
Where: Synapse Room (KAM 04 01 310)
Who: All study programs & all coding levels
Cost: Free
Tip: If you’re new and feel unsure, just come and sit with the group
— being inspired by the energy to study alone or listening and watching are also participation.
What we do
- Work on coursework and exercises (Java, Python, C++, web development, and more)
- Review fundamentals step by step (not everyone starts at the same point)
- Debug together and learn how to approach hard problems
- Form small study squads to work through the semester (not only during lectures)
- Build small projects for experience and confidence (and to make learning enjoyable)
How to get help (Discord + in-person)
Assembly support continues throughout the week on Discord. If you’re stuck, you can post in the help channels and get step-by-step guidance. To make help effective, try to include:
- Course + topic (e.g., Programming 1, OOP, Web Dev)
- Language (Java/Python/C++/etc.)
- What you tried already
- Error message / screenshot (if relevant)
House rules
Friendly. Patient. Inclusive.
We help each other understand concepts and unblock problems
— we don’t deliver finished assignment solutions.
No shame for “basic questions”. If you’re confused, it belongs here.
