Media + Podcasting

Small Talk Studios: Where Big Ideas Begin Small

Calling all future streamers, podcasters, vloggers, and storytellers!
At The Young Innovators Collective, we believe every child has something worth sharing—and Small Talk Studios is where they get to do just that.

Hands-On Learning

In this hands-on, laugh-filled, storytelling-powered course, young creators explore the art of podcasting, video content, interviewing, and editing. Along the way, they’ll learn how to structure a story, lead a conversation, share their passions, and maybe even drop in a sound effect or two.

This Class Isn't About Going Viral 
It’s a studio for young creators to find their voice, shape their stories, and have a ton of fun doing it. Whether they’re recording an advice show, editing their own mockumentary, or creating "listening letters" to their future selves, kids are at the center of the process—from idea to mic to final cut.

What's Included?

✅ Podcasting & audio storytelling basics
✅ Video editing and content creation
✅ Interviewing skills and conversation games
✅ Story structure + creative writing prompts
✅ Listening letters, mock commercials, comedy sketches
✅ Share final projects in a joyful family showcase
✅ Process-focused, confidence-building, and totally kid-led

What Makes Us Different?

We believe that young artists should learn by doing - that means creating alongside their learning.

 Hands-On Experience

Inspired by Montessori and Reggio Emilia, we follow the child's curiosity over perfection.

Child - Led Learning

No pressure. Just pure creative expression in a safe and affirming space.

Supportive Environment

We see every student as a storyteller in the making. Mentors guide - not dictate.
