Teen media program (tmp): youth ages 13-19 enter the tmp and become creative technology users by participating in media arts and literacy activities. Tmp offers a sequenced multi-year curriculum that uses artistic expression to develop new technology and creativity allowing participants to develop new skills. Tmp teaches youth to be digital creators rather than consumers. Artistic growth is fostered through facilitating the creation, presentation and critique of media art works and through teaching technology skills. Personal development is rooted in celebrating the inherent strengths of teens while filling gaps in their experience and knowledge.
