Update on School Year 2021-2022
DNAwesome Advisors have made the decision to maintain our virtual learning environment for grades K-12 for the 2021-2022 school year, due to the constantly evolving situation of COVID-19.
This academic year, we will divide the year up by specific projects that will run between 6 - 8 weeks long. Students will conduct Lab experiences utilizing STEM Kits (included in tuition) and under the guidance of their Virtual STEM Instructor.
Registration opens on September 1 and closes September 24.
V-Lab begins the week of October 4. 2021.
Space is limited. Scholarships are available.
Cost per module (6-8 weeks long) is $250

Every K-12 student is welcomed to become a part of the DNAwesome STEM Club family.
DNAwesome STEM Clubs Feature:

WHY STEM
WHY STEM
In a fast-changing environment of STEM innovation, it is important for youth to be given opportunities to maximize their God-given talents in those curricular areas. Due to instruction time being limited during the school day, we provide after-school programming that will help students develop their STEM knowledge and experience hands-on lessons that will enhance their interests in these fields.
DNAwesome STEM Club provides a comprehensive customizable Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) extra-curricular after school program for K-12 schools and STEM Summer Camps nationally. The Club’s motto “I am fearfully and wonderfully made…” is found in Psalm 139 and is included in the lessons taught to each student. Not only does it cover all disciplines of STEM, but it is designed to teach school-aged children the importance of using their learned skills to help and serve others while making a positive impact in their communities.
DNAwesome STEM Club confronts the school-to-prison pipeline by exposing children underrepresented in the field of STEM to the STEM disciplines at an early age. We seek to bridge the gap between minorities in STEM-related careers, by mentoring them through the Kindergarten to PhD pipeline creating opportunities for generational change within their communities.
Goals
Each student will participate in weekly STEM enrichment.
Each student will participate in an annual STEM Expo.
Each student will participate in four STEM-related field trips annually.
Each student will participate in an annual career day featuring STEM professionals.
