Forging Digital Tools

Mission Statement

Emerging media and informatics resources and technologies create unprecedented opportunities to bring forefront digital information to the public. The New Media Studio (TNMS), a non-profit organization, works to realize this potential. To this end, TNMS actively pursues its goals through a range of activities, including the provision of media production services, the distribution of digital educational products, and the development of innovative digital tools for public use. We create and operate many of our own projects—using not only grants but also investments and strategic partnering with educational, scientific and industry organizations.
