Here’s your child’s chance to write and produce their own videos by joining the one-of-a-kind KIDS4 program! KIDS4 is an after-school media production program run by the Sun Prairie Media Center designed for students in 4th through 8th grade.
In KIDS4, students are trained in many areas necessary to create their own television and video productions including cameras, lighting, sound, directing, producing, writing, editing, and animation. While students work with adult staff, their creativity is unfiltered, and their work is entirely their own. By creating their own media messages, students become smarter and more critical consumers of others’ media messages. Students enrolled in KIDS4 Crews work after school once a week in ‘crews’ and their work airs on KIDS4, a 24-hour public access station available on Spectrum, TDS, Roku, Apple TV and Amazon Fire devices, as well as streaming on kids4.tv and on the free Sun Prairie Media Center app. Some projects will also air on 103.5FM The SUN Community Radio.
Registration for all students will open on August 1 at 7:00AM. KIDS4 Crew registration information is available online at www.kids4.tv/kids-4-signup-info/ . Families who are interested in touring KIDS4 are welcome to visit the station during the Open House on July 30 from 5:00PM-6:00PM. For additional questions, please contact staff at staff@sunprairiemediacenter.com or call 608-837-4193. Registration deadline is set for Friday, September 12.
