Are you looking for a way to give your child a head start in the careers of tomorrow? Do you want them to spend their after-school hours building robots, designing sustainable buildings, or mastering the secrets of cybersecurity: all for free?

The wait is finally over! The Genius Lab registrations are still open, and we are now recruiting our very first cohort of 50 students. This isn't just another after-school program; it’s a golden opportunity for South St. Pete youth to transform their curiosity into a high-paying, high-demand career.

What is The Genius Lab?

The Genius Lab is a groundbreaking partnership between STEM Xposure Inc. and the City of St. Petersburg Mayor’s Office. Founded by local educator and visionary Robyn Donaldson, our mission is to "Expose, Equip, and Empower" the next generation of innovators right here in our community.

We believe that every student, regardless of their zip code, deserves access to the tools that build the future. That’s why we’ve designed a program specifically for students in grades 6–12 that combines high-tech learning with real-world workforce development.

Why Your Family Should Join

We know that parents in South St. Pete are looking for safe, productive, and enriching environments for their children. The Genius Lab provides all of that and more.

Here is what makes our program unique:

• 100% Free of Cost: There is no tuition or registration fee for participating families.

• Location: We are conveniently located at the Enoch Davis Center (1111 18th Avenue South, St. Petersburg, FL 33705).

• Full Support: We provide free transportation from school, plus nutritious meals and snacks every day so your student is fueled up and ready to learn.

• Mentorship: Students aren't just learning from books; they are being guided by industry professionals and mentors who care about their success.

A Curriculum Built for the Future

The Genius Lab isn't just about one subject. We offer a rotating, four-quarter curriculum that keeps students engaged and exposes them to a wide variety of industries. The program runs Monday through Thursday for two hours per day, aligned perfectly with the academic calendar.

Here is a look at what our students will be exploring this year:

• Quarter 1: The Tech Foundation – Diving deep into Artificial Intelligence (AI), the Science of Music, and Robotics.

• Quarter 2: Innovation in Motion – Exploring Local Innovation, the Science of Beauty (Cosmetic Chemistry), and the Science of Sports.

• Quarter 3: The Digital Frontier – Focusing on advanced AI, Cybersecurity, and Data Science.

• Quarter 4: Building the World – Hands-on experience in Architecture, Engineering, and the Construction Trades.

Throughout the year, students will also participate in STEM competitions, leadership development workshops, and financial enhancement training to ensure they are well-rounded and ready for the adult world.

Who Can Apply?

While we welcome applications from across the area, we are prioritizing students living in the 33705, 33711, and 33712 zip codes.

If your student attends one of these priority schools, we strongly encourage you to apply immediately:

• John Hopkins Middle School

• Thurgood Marshall Fundamental Middle School

• Bay Point Middle School

• Gibbs High School

We Are Building More Than Just Robots

At the heart of The Genius Lab is the desire to see our students thrive. By exposing them to architecture, engineering, and construction trades early on, we are opening doors to career paths they might never have considered. Whether they want to go to a four-year university or jump straight into a high-skill trade, we provide the micro-credentials and industry exposure they need to succeed.
