What Comes Next?

The end of the school year always brings a mix of excitement and uncertainty. For some students, it’s a celebration. For others, it’s the question: What comes next?

As students across the country wrap up classes, they’re not only finishing assignments—they’re forming ideas about their future. When students are exposed to real careers in their own communities, those ideas become clearer, more grounded, and more connected to the world around them.

Career exploration isn’t just about seeing what's out there—it’s about helping students find direction, purpose, and a place within their community.

Are there careers in your community you’d like to see featured for your students? Let us know!

So What Does an AI Engineer Actually Do?

Artificial intelligence is no longer a distant concept—it’s shaping the way we live and work today. In this Career Spotlight, AI Engineer Shreyas Basavatia offers a glimpse into what it’s really like to work in this rapidly evolving field.

This spotlight connects directly to our AI Galaxy on Perspectiv—a 4-module, 13-video course designed to help students (and educators) understand AI without hype or fear.

Inside AI Galaxy, students explore:

• What AI actually is (and what it isn’t)
• Real-world applications across industries
• Ethical and societal implications
• Emerging and future career paths

Our goal is simple: clarity. We believe that when students understand a field like AI, they’re better equipped to see where they might fit within it.
