"content": "\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">This April, nearly 50 Bay Area high school students will appear on KQED’s television channels as part of the annual Youth Takeover.

For some, scrolling through social media or turning on the news may reveal a bleak outlook on the state of the world: Climate change is leaving its indelible mark on the earth, buying a house doesn’t cost three hay pennies and a cow anymore \u003cem>(**for journalistic purposes, this is a hyperbolic joke**)\u003c/em>, and the horizon of a new, yet familiar, presidency may make you feel uncertain. 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 believe that the diverse ideas, opinions and perspectives of young people should and must be represented in public broadcasting because oftentimes their voices go unheard – especially on topics being publicly debated related to our collective futures.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is the work we aim to support and are so thrilled to share with you in our first-ever quarterly blog. 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;\">. This year, we’re welcoming sixteen educators from twelve school sites across the Bay Area. 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. Which translates to: nine schools representing all nine of KQED’s Bay Area broadcast counties.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_538499\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-538499 size-medium\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2025/01/20240930_1825470-scaled-e1736991333554-800x485.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"485\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2025/01/20240930_1825470-scaled-e1736991333554-800x485.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2025/01/20240930_1825470-scaled-e1736991333554-1020x619.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2025/01/20240930_1825470-scaled-e1736991333554-160x97.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2025/01/20240930_1825470-scaled-e1736991333554-768x466.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2025/01/20240930_1825470-scaled-e1736991333554-1536x932.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2025/01/20240930_1825470-scaled-e1736991333554.jpg 1694w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The 2024-2025 YTO Teacher Cohort pose for a photo on KQED’s rooftop after the Season Eight Kickoff meeting.

Each of them represents a facet of what makes Northern California unique, and we want that as part of our program’s cross-section.

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.

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.

We got to dive into the product lifecycle we use for our apps at KQED, and I got to share what I do with Hannah, my Youth Advisory Board mentee from California Virtual Academy Sonoma. It’s essential to bring in the voice of the next generation as we frame what is important to build for all of KQED’s community. Thanks to this experience with Hannah, I have a few ideas ready to take back to the mobile app team to see if we can turn them into reality in our app. Our process was guided by the principles of Design Thinking – focusing on problem-solving and creating a great experience for our users – for impactful product development. I hope you enjoy Hannah’s reflection on our process where collaboration, empathy, and iteration reign supreme.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Hannah’s Reflection\u003c/h3>\n\u003ch2>Step 1: Empathize\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>To begin, we first had to understand our user base. Most listeners and users of the KQED app are middle-aged and older. In order to attract new audiences and grow KQED’s user base, we researched topics and approaches that would be relevant to younger generations. Mental health is a pressing matter among today’s youth, so we figured that one way to cater to their interests would be to implement a mental health check-in upon opening the app. Users could rate how they are feeling and the app would curate their news based on the rating. For example, if a user gives a lower rating, their news feed would show more uplifting stories and avoid potentially triggering ones. We researched features from popular mental health-oriented apps, such as the mood check ins from Headspace and Calm, to get a sense of what is available today for mental health and where there is still a user need to fill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Step 2: Define\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>After analyzing our audience and conducting our initial research in the first phase, we went on to frame the main issues of the current KQED app. We found that one problem is the layout of the app. With the absence of a search bar, it is difficult to find specific content and there is no way to easily access archived stories. This makes it difficult for users to do research or find older articles. The presentation of the articles also feels cramped and users are not able to change the font size nor customize other aspects of their viewing experience. This makes the app inaccessible to people who may have impaired vision or find it difficult to read on certain devices. I also noticed that the app didn’t show many articles featuring local news and events, which seemed a missed opportunity to showcase content that would engage and inform our local community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_538040\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 627px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-538040\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2024/04/Landscape-Research.png\" alt=\"Collage of logos and screenshots of various mobile apps.\" width=\"627\" height=\"440\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2024/04/Landscape-Research.png 627w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2024/04/Landscape-Research-160x112.png 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 627px) 100vw, 627px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Screenshot from Julia and Hannah’s Miro collaboration board.

One of the ways we brainstormed was using the Crazy 8s method. It is a fast sketching exercise that challenges people to sketch eight distinct ideas in eight minutes. In this method my mentor, Julia, and I wrote down the features we thought would most improve the user experience. From our brainstorming we then narrowed down our ideas to a few key features – making content more accessible by adding a search bar and a better-organized toolbar. Other user benefits we added were a more readable font and a screen time check.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_538052\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-538052 size-medium\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2024/04/Crazy-8-exercises-800x318.jpg\" alt=\"Two pieces of 8.5 by 11 inch paper side by side.

To replicate this, I asked my friends and family which features from our prototype they preferred. I showed them the original design of the app compared to the features from our prototype and they agreed that the new toolbar and search bar improved their experience.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_538041\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 777px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-538041\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2024/04/Prototype.png\" alt=\"Multiple smart phone interfaces depicting various app features.\" width=\"777\" height=\"474\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2024/04/Prototype.png 777w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2024/04/Prototype-160x98.png 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2024/04/Prototype-768x469.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 777px) 100vw, 777px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Screenshot from Julia and Hannah’s Miro collaboration board.

I also noticed that the app didn’t show many articles featuring local news and events, which seemed a missed opportunity to showcase content that would engage and inform our local community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_538040\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 627px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-538040\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2024/04/Landscape-Research.png\" alt=\"Collage of logos and screenshots of various mobile apps.\" width=\"627\" height=\"440\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2024/04/Landscape-Research.png 627w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2024/04/Landscape-Research-160x112.png 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 627px) 100vw, 627px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Screenshot from Julia and Hannah’s Miro collaboration board.

One of the ways we brainstormed was using the Crazy 8s method. It is a fast sketching exercise that challenges people to sketch eight distinct ideas in eight minutes. In this method my mentor, Julia, and I wrote down the features we thought would most improve the user experience. From our brainstorming we then narrowed down our ideas to a few key features – making content more accessible by adding a search bar and a better-organized toolbar. Other user benefits we added were a more readable font and a screen time check.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_538052\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-538052 size-medium\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2024/04/Crazy-8-exercises-800x318.jpg\" alt=\"Two pieces of 8.5 by 11 inch paper side by side.

To replicate this, I asked my friends and family which features from our prototype they preferred. I showed them the original design of the app compared to the features from our prototype and they agreed that the new toolbar and search bar improved their experience.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_538041\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 777px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-538041\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2024/04/Prototype.png\" alt=\"Multiple smart phone interfaces depicting various app features.\" width=\"777\" height=\"474\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2024/04/Prototype.png 777w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2024/04/Prototype-160x98.png 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2024/04/Prototype-768x469.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 777px) 100vw, 777px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Screenshot from Julia and Hannah’s Miro collaboration board.

My main goal as their teacher this year is to foster a love of learning and encourage my students to express themselves and have their voices heard.

My main goal as their teacher this year is to foster a love of learning and encourage my students to express themselves and have their voices heard. I want them to know that they have a wealth of knowledge and power within them, and that their thoughts are important enough to be voiced and uplifted by others. Learning is often one-dimensional for students, and they notice that most of the time the knowledge is attempted to be passed down by their teachers. I want them to realize that they are also experts and that we, their teachers and other adults in society, have a lot to learn from them as well.\u003c/p>\u003c/td>\n\u003c/tr>\n\u003ctr>\n\u003ctd>\u003cspan style=\"color: #ffffff;\">…..\u003c/span>\u003c/td>\n\u003c/tr>\n\u003ctr>\n\u003ctd>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_537963\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 400px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-537963\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2024/03/Skyline-HS-2024.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2024/03/Skyline-HS-2024.png 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2024/03/Skyline-HS-2024-160x120.png 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2024/03/Skyline-HS-2024-768x576.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Skyline High School\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Skyline High School\u003cbr>\n\u003c/strong>Oakland, Alameda County\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>\u003ca href=\"https://youthmedia.kqed.org/showcase?city=Oakland&school=Skyline%20High%20School&state=CA\">Explore Skyline students’ media\u003c/a>\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Michael Roe: \u003c/strong>I’ve participated in Youth Takeover, at my previous school John Henry High School.

The show features interviews with visionary guests like Trevor Noah, Sam Altman and Janette Sadik-Khan.
