We envision a community where all – from young learners to their parents, grandparents, caregivers, teachers, and local leaders – enjoy the safe, creative, and balanced presence of technology in their lives; and where young learners can access expert training and inspiration in media and technology fields, then exploring opportunities to connect with the local workforce, higher education, and the wider creative economy. True Kids 1 (TK1) is a youth media-and-technology education nonprofit founded in 2017. We're based in Taos, NM at a leading-edge teen facility. TK1 prepares youth for success: In-school programs boost awareness of and tools within the rapidly evolving media-and-tech universe We teach technical skills that can open doors into New Mexico’s growing media, tech, and STEM industries We preach balance, and a sound understanding of how to safely and responsibly use technology After-school programs bring together students with experts to lead their own media and technology projects.
