YPN's mission is to provide digital media education opportunities that inspire, empower and enable diverse populations of young people to develop critical thinking, problem solving, effective communication and other important life skills. Young Producers Network (YPN) serves students ages 8-11 and 12-16 in eight-weeks of immersive media arts camps. YPN students engage in animation, video production, and storytelling exercises. Students trade off in roles such as acting, costuming, set design, lighting, and prop mastery. A nationally-recognized youth media program, TCMedia connects children to award-winning professionals working in the field of television production, to deliver high-quality educational opportunities in a fun, supportive atmosphere.
