Artificial intelligence is becoming a more common expectation in early-career roles.

Recent data shows that about 4.2% of entry-level job postings now reference AI skills, nearly double the share from a year ago. Internship postings are even higher, with more than 10% including AI-related requirements.

The trend spans a range of industries, with the strongest presence in technology roles, along with growing adoption in areas like financial services and marketing.

At the same time, many students report learning these tools on their own, as formal training continues to catch up with workplace expectations.

While the overall job market for new graduates remains competitive, familiarity with AI tools is becoming one way candidates can stand out across a variety of roles.

Preparations are underway for the next phase of lunar exploration.

The core stage of the Space Launch System rocket for the Artemis III mission has arrived at Kennedy Space Center, where final assembly will take place.

The component measures over 200 feet long and will be integrated with additional sections before launch.

Artemis III is expected to test key capabilities, including rendezvous and docking systems that support future missions involving human spaceflight.

This milestone follows the recent Artemis II mission and represents another step in ongoing efforts to advance deep space exploration.

If you or someone in your family is still in school—or heading back in the fall—now is the time to make sure your FAFSA form is in.

A few things worth knowing:
⏰ The federal deadline is June 30. State and school deadlines are often earlier.
⏰ Many types of aid are first-come, first-served. Waiting could cost money.
⏰ You can make corrections after submission, but the form needs to be in first.

Don't let a deadline get in the way of money that's already available to you.

NASA has unveiled an ambitious long-term strategy to return humans to the moon and establish a sustained presence on its surface.

The plan includes an estimated $20 billion investment over the next several years, with the goal of building a permanent lunar base supported by a series of missions and international partnerships.

Rather than focusing on short visits, the initiative emphasizes developing infrastructure that would enable astronauts to live and work on the moon for longer periods.

The strategy is expected to roll out in phases—beginning with testing equipment and technology, followed by early construction, and eventually expanding into a more established base.

Officials say the goal is to move beyond exploration and toward a consistent human presence, marking a significant step in the next phase of space development. 🚀

Money and mental health are more connected than we often realize. Stress about bills, debt, or even keeping track of accounts can take a toll.

During Mental Health Awareness Month, it's a good time to pause and check in with yourself. Sometimes, even one small financial step—like reviewing an account balance or setting up an automatic payment—might help manage your stress and bring a sense of control.

And remember: if you're struggling with mental health, reaching out to a trusted professional or support resource can make a difference.

Major League Baseball is set to introduce a new technology-assisted system for calling balls and strikes.

Beginning in 2026, games will include an Automated Ball/Strike System (ABS) that allows teams to challenge certain home plate umpire calls. Rather than replacing umpires entirely, the system works alongside them.

Each team will have a limited number of challenges per game. If a call is challenged, tracking technology quickly reviews the pitch and displays the result, helping confirm whether it crossed the strike zone.

The system relies on camera-based tracking to evaluate each pitch against a defined strike zone calibrated to each player’s height.

After several years of testing in the minor leagues and spring training, this approach aims to balance tradition with technology — keeping the human element while adding a layer of consistency to close calls.
