HCDE PREFACE


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 industry. There is a special focus on music production, audio engineering, photography, videography, and 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 Maslowe’s Hierarchy of Needs).

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

Howard Connect ACADEMY

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

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.

CHATT PREP

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 full-time media and music production programs throughout both the middle school and high school.


CENTER FOR CREATIVE ARTS

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, and hopefully move towards launching full time production programs in the near future.
