To develope a viewing audience you need the tools and skills to make good media that engages your audience on many levels. SPNN offers small class sizes and committed educators. We also have many tutorials on our equipment available to watch on our website or to check out and take home.

Young, old, or in-between SPNN has workshops in all aspects of pre-production, production, post-prodcution, marketing, and other specialty classes.

SPNN's goal is to provide you with the training you need to communicate using media technology. Members create TV programs for distribution on our channels, our website and other media outlets.  We also provide special media programs for youth.  Please check out our schedule of upcoming classes. To register for our classes or find out more information about our classes email us or call us at 651.298.8908.
