• Media and Music. Monday-Thursday 3-4:30pm.
• Computer Shop. Tues-Thursday 3-6pm.

To encourage participation of ALL students from across our community, After-School Programs offered at TK1 HQ are FREE OF CHARGE.
The TK1 Youth Council. Come and Change our World, with TK1’s ED, Sandy Campbell. This after-school program is for juniors and seniors (with exceptions made for exceptional sophomores) who wish to participate in core discussions about Taos, high school life, local policy-making, amplifying youth voice, and more. Council members lead production of their own video entries for our Future Dialogues. Select students will work on unique video assignments, interviewing elected officials, covering local events as part of our Broadcast Internship with The Taos News, and so much more… Mondays and… well… pretty much every day.
Digital Art Lab with TK1’s Director of Media, Pete Monro and KSP Program Officer Kiki Siebenaler. This drop-in space allows students aged 12 and up to learn key video, animation, and illustration techniques, taking their own projects forward under expert tutelage, and of course with routine access to our professional Production Studio. Interested participants will have the opportunity to join TK1 Productions, and make fee-for-service videos for clients across Taos County. Most days after school.
Queerious, with TK1’s Productions Program Officer, Dani Cervantes. This is an open, safe space where teens can be exactly who they are, be called what they want to be called, and thrive through music, podcasts, video, talk shows, poetry and dance, and much more… In this program, students will share and discover, and through storytelling address gender roles, sex assigned at birth, gay/straight interactions in social gatherings, stigma, appearance, and so much more. We want to create above all a healthy space where students can be themselves and have a strong supportive group of friends, with a key goal being the development of healthy relationships — with themselves, and with in a society that often marginalizes them. Mondays 4:00-5:30pm.
Computer Shop and Student Squad with TK1’s Director of Technology and STEM, Bill Hood. This drop-in program allows students to explore and play with the tools and technology in our Digital Technology Center. Want to learn how to build or fix a computer? Want to learn how to code? How to make amazing 3-D prints? Want to get paid to do any or all of this? Join us. Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays 3-6pm.
With support from the New Mexico Broadband Equity Fund
The Photo & 3D-Print Lab. This entirely student-run, entrepreneurial group meets most days after school from 4-6pm. Students learn how to take photographs in various situations, take portraits, and then print them on our professional printer for paying clients. Ages 14 and up.
