The TK1 MediaVerse
In 2023, TK1 will open The TK1 MediaVerse, a multi-roomed production studio, media-learning hub, lounge-and-kitchen, and full photography studio — taking TK1 and the students we serve into the next phase of our evolution.
Through a building provided by the Town of Taos just north of Taos Plaza on Civic Plaza Drive, the TK1 MediaVerse will become an important new facility serving our youth — not only through unique media and learning opportunities, but also by providing a safe, structured, and creative space for Taos teens to gather. Through partnerships with like-minded organizations and local government, the TK1 MediaVerse will become one of several new or improved youth-oriented facilities in town, with a revitalized transportation network connecting these facilities with area schools. Further, this space will build upon TK1’s existing efforts to serve statewide groups interested in deepening their skills at both community- and youth-media efforts. Currently delivered virtually, this statewide training will become an in-person set of offerings at the TK1 MediaVerse.
The TK1 MediaVerse Vision
The TK1 MediaVerse will be a safe, structured, and highly creative space providing Taos youth with exceptional media production opportunities and skills. Through our MediaVerse, Taos youth will gain essential skills in media literacy, critical thinking, and media production, experiences that will strongly shape their future educational and career pathways. TK1 staff and students will provide statewide training at the MediaVerse, either virtually or by serving groups in-person, building on TK1’s emphasis on family and intergenerational learning processes.
While TK1 serves all area youth in its programs, the MediaVerse will serve Taos teenagers in particular.
