Hang Out: The ‘Hang Out’ space of YOUmedia is a relaxed, social where teens can read, talk with friends, check email even have food or drinks. It is the landing site and starting point for YOUmedia activity and is designed to be a pressure-free introduction to the technology, resources, workshops and group projects that will be taking place in other areas of the space.

Mess Around: The ‘Mess Around’ space is the center of independent exploration for those teens that don’t just want to hang out, but aren’t ready to commit to a class series. Here, teens have access to laptops for gaming, podcasting mics, digital flip and still cameras, drawing pads and more. The goal of the ‘Mess Around’ space is to be freely creative and experiment with whatever Digital Medium interests you.

Geek Out: The teens who decide to spend time in the ‘Geek out’ space are ready to take their interests to the next level with the guided instruction of a Media Specialist or Mentor via Workshops and Projects. Here teens will have the opportunity to engage in focused dialogue and collaboration to produce work for public exhibition. Whether a beginner or a more advanced student, this is the space to grow, be challenged and encouraged.
