Education
NMPBS engages with our community using quality media, curriculum and learning activities. Events like Indie Lens PopUp documentary screenings and Science Café provide a venue for public dialogue about current issues in culture, society, and science.
We support early childhood educators and caregivers with content and professional development that sustains children on their path to kindergarten readiness. Our focus is on low-income children and their families with resources available in both Spanish and English.

What it Takes: Careers in Health Science
New Mexico faces a critical shortage of health science workers, from entry level positions through nurses, primary care doctors and surgeons. To address this shortfall, New Mexico PBS has partnered with the United Way of Central New Mexico Mission: Graduate, and the UNM Health Sciences Center to create "What it Takes".
