As important as it is to be realistic with the present, the same can be said for holding optimism for the future.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here on KQED’s Youth Media Team – a small but mighty team of two, composed of Youth Media Digital Producer / Program Manager \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/author/amandavigil\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Amanda Vigil\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and Youth Media Specialist \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/author/cheyennebearfoot\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cheyenne Bearfoot \u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(That’s me!) – we see the future every day. We sit down and have conversations with it regularly. The future is Youth Media Makers.

We’re covering some exciting new broadcast partnership opportunities, giving a behind-the-scenes look at how youth-produced media goes from ideation to broadcast, celebrating our Youth Advisory Board (YAB) alumni and glimpsing into our collective future.

Although eight whole seasons seems like a long time, think back to what grade you were in at eight years old. That’s \u003cem>third \u003c/em>grade! All that’s to say, we’re still learning and growing. One of those areas of growth is our \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/education/538388/2024-25-youth-takeover-teachers\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Youth Takeover (YTO) Teacher Cohort\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

For the first time ever, Solano County (Rodriguez High School) is represented – a major win – in addition to some returning folks! We have a goal-turned-mantra we like to say on the team: nine-for-nine.

One of the ways we do this is through our annual kickoff meeting at KQED, a social opportunity to present this year’s program offerings. Watching all faces both familiar and new filing into the space at this year’s kick off; seeing teachers delighting in the little things like forging a new connection or absorbing the timeline of our historical photo wall; devouring scrumptious Goat Hill Pizza (quite possibly the hidden sixth food group if you ask anyone at the Q); and marveling at the production spaces–really uplifts the importance of holding space for our partners. For them, showcasing this behind-the-scenes look at how all the magic happens to bring content to KQED’s audiences perfectly highlights how very real this opportunity is for them and for their students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_538504\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-538504 size-medium\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2025/01/KQED-Youth-Takeover-Project-Pitching-111424_17-800x534.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2025/01/KQED-Youth-Takeover-Project-Pitching-111424_17-800x534.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2025/01/KQED-Youth-Takeover-Project-Pitching-111424_17-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2025/01/KQED-Youth-Takeover-Project-Pitching-111424_17-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2025/01/KQED-Youth-Takeover-Project-Pitching-111424_17-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2025/01/KQED-Youth-Takeover-Project-Pitching-111424_17-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2025/01/KQED-Youth-Takeover-Project-Pitching-111424_17-2048x1366.jpg 2048w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2025/01/KQED-Youth-Takeover-Project-Pitching-111424_17-1920x1281.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Amanda Vigil (top right) and Cheyenne Bearfoot (bottom right) join Edward Hill (left) at Skyline High School to facilitate a pitch review session.

Although eight whole seasons seems like a long time, think back to what grade you were in at eight years old. That’s \u003cem>third \u003c/em>grade! All that’s to say, we’re still learning and growing. One of those areas of growth is our \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/education/538388/2024-25-youth-takeover-teachers\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Youth Takeover (YTO) Teacher Cohort\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

For the first time ever, Solano County (Rodriguez High School) is represented – a major win – in addition to some returning folks! We have a goal-turned-mantra we like to say on the team: nine-for-nine.

One of the ways we do this is through our annual kickoff meeting at KQED, a social opportunity to present this year’s program offerings. Watching all faces both familiar and new filing into the space at this year’s kick off; seeing teachers delighting in the little things like forging a new connection or absorbing the timeline of our historical photo wall; devouring scrumptious Goat Hill Pizza (quite possibly the hidden sixth food group if you ask anyone at the Q); and marveling at the production spaces–really uplifts the importance of holding space for our partners.

At the spin wheel, The Field Trip Game: A Ridiculous Adventure Game with Mediocre Prizes takes teenage contestants on rollicking adventures to mystery locations around San Francisco and the Bay Area, encouraging other young people to get out and explore their world.\r\n\r\nWhether visiting a no-kill animal shelter, a roller rink inside an old church, or an arcade full of hundred-year-old animatronics, the series—comprising both regular episodes and original shorts—offers a fun and irreverent look at places that make the Bay Area unique. Along the way, there will be spinning wheels, behind-the-scenes tours, games-within-games, scavenger hunts, quizzes, and, of course, mediocre prizes!\r\n\r\nThe series represents an intergenerational collaboration between nine \"creative collaborators\" (CCs) aged 16 to 21 and a team of KQED producers. Under the guidance of KQED’s team, the CCs rapidly progressed and utilized their technical and creative skills through the fall, with production beginning in January. From producer to writer, to director, to host, to camera and sound, the CCs co-designed the series and played most of the key roles during pre-production and on-location filming, and offered editing feedback during the post-production phase.\r\n\r\nThe first episode launched on Thursday, June 20th, Don’t miss KQED's first-ever by-youth, for-youth digital video series. The eight-episode first season, along with accompanying shorts, can be found \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/@TheFieldTripGame\">on YouTube!\u003c/a>",
