This week on Voices of Taos, editor Geoffrey Plant talks with Sandy Campbell, executive director of TrueKids1.

TrueKids1 is a youth media and technology nonprofit that works to inspire students, teach media literacy skills, and promote digital health for both students and parents. TK1 also collaborated with the Taos News during the recent elections to livestream candidate forums.

Sandy and Geoffrey talk about what TrueKids1 has been working on lately. This year, the organization has opened a photo studio next door to their facility on La Posta Road that helps teach business skills, as well as a space program, in which students are building actual satellites that will be able to gather light pollution data, as well as other important information. Plant and Cambpbell also talk about the Raise the Rails rally, staged by TrueKids1 in response to a record number of deaths at the Rio Grande Gorge Bridge this year.
