DYNAMO STUDIOS

We are an educational 501(c)3 public charity non-profit organization

EIN 81-0756710


OVERVIEW

Dynamo Studios, an edu 501(c)3 organization facilitates life changing educational opportunities for students through in school programming, extracurricular programs, public edu partnership, and career experience opportunities through robust high level partnerships at every level of the music and modern creative industries. We currently serve schools and operate programs between Atlanta GA, Chattanooga TN, and Nashville TN.

Although we may appear at first glance as an arts organization, we are squarely a human development organization.

We believe that the music industry is a straight line to life — We are using the music and creative industries as our catalyst to equip, empower, and elevate our students.

There is a special focus on music production, audio engineering, photography, videography, and graphic design, but at the end of the day our goal is to also help students reach self actualization (the peak of human development according to Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs).

Through innovative programming and highly effective engagement with students, we are changing the trajectory of students’ lives across Chattanooga.

CURRENT SCHOOL PARTNERSHIPS

This does not include our pending partnerships. By fall 2023 we will add an additional 4-6 schools within our program model.

Howard Connect ACADEMY (CHATTANOOGA)

Of all the partnerships we have, our work at Connect is our proudest accomplishment. We are a founding partner that helped develop and open the school in 2018-19. Now we run full time in school credit based programs serving 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students.


Howard High School (CHATTANOOGA)

Our partnership with The Howard School completes our 6th-12th grade pipeline. This theoretically allows for students to graduate with more experience than a college grad in the modern creative fields. At the high school, we are providing full time credit based programming to students of all grade levels.

DALEWOOD MIDDLE SCHOOL (CHATTANOOGA)

Dalewood is a Title I school that we are very excited to be working with! At this middle school, we are working with them to build out a large music production space and a well equipped mobile production lab that will support music production, photography, videography, and design. From this program we will eventually launch a full scale production program at Brainerd High School (where the students attend following 8th grade promotion).


CHATT PREP (CHATTANOOGA)

At Prep. we are supporting the expansion of their creative arts programs through an inaugural drumline team. From there we intend to support and lead the development of media and music production programs throughout both the middle school and high school.


CENTER FOR CREATIVE ARTS (CHATTANOOGA)

Starting work with CCA on a formalized program was a full circle moment for Dynamo as that’s where we came up with the idea for our org years ago. Now that we’ve developed our organization, we are elated to launch their after school production program, consult with their inaugural film program, design and build their new recording studio, and hopefully move towards launching full time production programs in the near future.
