A KHouse may also be a weekly "time slot" in someone's computer lab or Internet café. For example, it may function as a KHouse on Monday evenings, and serve a University's students during the rest of the week.

KHouses render educational Kidlink services to economically less favored groups, like students of poor public schools, and individual youth without access to computers and the Internet, and come in three flavors:

• Kids: The lab is open at least two hours on a certain weekday for kids that come from a school with their teachers, or as part of a group from different other places (streets, hospitals, etc.) .
• Open: The lab is open for kids that come without teachers, or adult coaches. They sign up formally, and come whenever they need or want. This model works like a library.
• Family: Groups of senior citizens interact by email with KHouse kids. Besides learning about technology, and participating in projects, they communicate among them themselves

The first KHouse was opened in March 1996, in the RioData Centro of PUC-RJ, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
