College students across the country are competing to design, build, and operate their own lunar robots during the annual Lunabotics Challenge.
Watch live to see how they are helping NASA prepare for future Artemis missions to the Moon.
Storytime: 6 college students shared one Bloome subscription for a semester.
One subscription, not six. One agent dropped into the study group chat. It learned each of their majors, their deadlines, and which prof grades hardest.
By finals, it knew their group better than their classmates did.
Bloome was built so people can share an agent the way they share a family plan.
I spent time this weekend with some college students. I don’t interact much with this age group, so I found it interesting. Here’s some recon.
There was a conversation about money. BTC came up. I asked if their friends know a lot about it. Reply: “Yes, lots of people. They are always looking at it.”
I didn’t ask about gold. But something tells me I wouldn't have gotten a similar response. That’s a huge change from 40 years ago when I was in college; there was widespread awareness of gold (it was the aftermath of gold’s surge in the 1970s) and it was an important part of introductory economics courses on college campuses.
Takeaway: The perception among young people of BTC as a fundamental part of the financial system isn’t going away. It’s permanent. And these young people will eventually become middle-aged people.
We also talked about school-related costs for students these days. I was shocked. It’s not just tuition; there are tons of related fees and costs. This pays the generous salaries of school administrators. I was reminded of a friend of mine who works in fundraising at an Ivy League school and makes $1 million per year.
Private schools should be able to charge students -- and pay faculty and administrators -- whatever they want. But if you take taxpayer money, it’s a different story. And these schools have gotten fat off taxpayer money for decades. When someone in fundraising -- fundraising! -- can make more than most people on Wall Street, something has gone terribly wrong. This is a disgrace and it deserves far more attention. I say this as as an Ivy League MBA.
