If a primary goal of education is to prepare kids for the future, IT leaders play a more pivotal role than ever. Technology has profoundly impacted work in every industry — and it’s opened up vast new possibilities in new fields, from positions across STEM industries and AI, to esports and beyond. It’s also transformed how students engage with learning, skill development and high-level problem-solving and critical thinking.
“Exposing students to computer science and high-end technology is not only useful for the future as they inevitably use it in their careers, but it changes their relationship to school,” says Mat Holley, esports program manager at MSI. “When they’re more engaged, they have better attendance. They have better grades. They’re more prepared for college and the job market. The enthusiasm is remarkable.”
School boards are leading the charge for these initiatives, but they can’t do it on their own. They must partner with IT leaders in their district, education specialists and technology industry professionals to deliver these learning experiences, and the challenge is to ensure that these programs are cost-effective, with technology, expertise and activities that are future-proof.

How technology is transforming the learning experience
To support these initiatives, the choice of hardware and software becomes critical. Holley points to the extracurricular club in the charter school district in Chula Vista, San Diego he worked with to help develop and outfit new technology learning initiatives. Students there work on video design, broadcasting, AI and music creation using Vector GP and Raider GE series laptops from MSI, integrating graphics hardware from Nvidia and processing power from Intel. And this high-end gaming hardware and software supports what’s become the largest high school-run esports program in the U.S., the Kern High School District Esports League.
“I’ve worked with schools that are far along their journey and ready to level up their hardware, to keep pace with how the kids are working and learning, and I’ve also helped districts build the programs from the ground up, from the right hardware to student outreach,” Holley explains. “And though much of this is uncharted territory, the momentum is building, sometimes through word of mouth.”
The surprising benefits of esports
Educators are sharing knowledge, sparking interest and collaborating with their peers, working toward developing a curriculum standard and blueprint for the hardware and software specifications that can support those programs.
Though it’s initially surprised many educators and leaders that esports can have such a profound effect on kids — especially the ones who often feel excluded from other sports — the number of esports programs is growing. Not only are there tremendous educational and social development benefits for the students that participate, esports also attracts kids who have never joined an extracurricular club: the girls who have felt left out in science and math classes, the BIPOC students who deserve bigger opportunities. The clubs raise their confidence in their own abilities, and more often than not, these students go on to study computer science or some other linked technology career.

“There is no barrier to entry to be a gamer, and this goes for computer science at large,” Holley says. “You don’t even have to be a gamer to enter these clubs. More and more, esports is plugged into all the various technology clubs like design, broadcasting and journalism, and formerly disenfranchised kids are finding their calling through these clubs in an unprecedented way.”
Building the learning experiencefrom the ground up
Of course, there continue to be challenges for school districts developing these programs, and many of them come down to major budget constraints. There are also the difficulties that come with ensuring security is solid, that new technology is integrated into existing networks, and moving the environment from on-prem to the cloud. MSI collaborates with educational institutions to ensure that they’re not only hitting the district’s hardware specs, but new hardware will be integrated seamlessly.
“As we saw more esports integrated into schools, we worked with schools to meet the specifications of their price points, their warranty needs, which are typically longer than a retail warranty,” Holley says. “We wanted to also make sure that these were machines that the students got excited to play on, that sophisticated esports titles were supported. As we started to work with more schools closely, we integrated products from our professional line to improve the student experience and give them access to even more tech areas to explore.”
Educational IT leaders rejoice: adding computer labs like these is easier than ever. As computing advances, the size of the hardware continues to shrink, making student computers lightweight and easy for IT teams to deploy. IT leaders should also look for hardware that’s easy to integrate, especially from a security point of view — however, most districts are working with legacy hardware environments.

“As you build a technology center for students, you have to consider whether existing hardware will play with the new, and whether it will move to the cloud securely,” Holley says. “But as long as we can integrate security standards like content filters, custom imaging and Autopilot deployment, it’s much easier to deploy at scale in almost any environment. We try to build directly in tandem with district-wide IT departments, so they can tell us what they need and what their road map looks like. Then from the manufacturer side, we’re able to make sure that we all play along in the years to come.”
Another major consideration is product life cycles, which are incredibly short in the consumer world. IT leaders should work with a partner that offers dedicated hardware for education, with life cycles long enough to mesh with the fairly long bidding and buying timeline for education purchases.
And of course, as cloud computing becomes the standard, it’s important to stay abreast of hardware and software changes and evolving risk scenarios. That means research, testing and working with your supplier to keep informed about the newest hardware and software advancements and when it’s time to upgrade. It also means selecting hardware that’s easily upgradable and expandable.
Making hardware choices a whole lot easier
To support technology education, MSI offers the Cubi NUC and DP21, which support Intel vPro and Windows Autopilot to simplify management, enhance security and streamline the deployment process. Thunderbolt 4 technology and power delivery offer fast connectivity and charging. They’re also easily scalable, and offer real-time data processing for AI and machine learning. Their compact size offers flexible installation and a good performance vs. footprint ratio, plus flexible configuration.

The company also offers STEM, gaming and content creation computers like the DP180, CreatorPro, Vector GP and Raider GE series laptops with dedicated graphics hardware that accelerate graphics-heavy applications, and offer easy upgradability with expandable memory and storage options to ensure longevity.
Veteran resellers and manufacturers will work with decision-makers to ensure schools get the best hardware and software their money can buy, plus keep IT teams in the loop what’s coming next, and how to make sure students have every opportunity to learn with the newest technology possible.
“We’re paving a path for these students into the future, and it’s important that we’re equipping them for everything that’s to come,” Holley says. “Gaming and other high-tech hardware has become an integral part of the plan, so IT leaders must be willing to get creative when designing technology resources and work with allies across manufacturing and reselling to push initiatives forward.”

Ali Rowghani, a former Y Combinator managing director and former Twitter executive, is launching a venture firm called Maxq.
Maxq is targeting $250 million for its debut fund, Maxq Fund I, according to an SEC filing. The firm will focus on seed-stage investments, Axios reported on Wednesday. Rowghani’s former YC colleagues Mia Mabanta, Simon Lu, and JJ Fliegelman will all be involved, according to Axios.
Rowghani was formerly the head of YC’s Continuity Fund, a vehicle that fulfilled YC’s pro rata rights and invested in select late-stage rounds for YC companies. The fund was launched in 2015. YC shut the fund down in 2023 and laid off its staff.
Prior to YC, Rowghani had stints as Twitter’s CFO and COO. Prior to that, he was the CFO at Pixar.

Today Garmin announced the Lily 2 Active, a sportier version of the fashion-forward Garmin Lily 2. For $50 more, you get buttons and built-in GPS, which addresses some of our main complaints with the original Lily 2.
Built-in GPS is a particularly welcome update, as it means you can now accurately track outdoor activities like runs and cycling without needing a smartphone. The wearable’s pair of side buttons are a nice touch, too, given the Lily 2’s touch display has always been finicky to use. Plus, Garmin promises nine days of battery life, which is nearly double the Lily 2’s. We’ve yet to test the wearable, but if that claims hold true in real life, that’d put it nearly on par with the $1,000 Garmin Epix Pro Sapphire Edition — our favorite Garmin for endurance sports.
The Active series also now features a few sports-oriented features that the Lily 2 lacks. You can, for instance, access built-in sports apps for activities like tennis, pickleball, indoor cycling, and golf. Garmin has also added on-screen workouts that you can download from your watch screen, focused on strength training, yoga, and more. Lastly, the wearable supports Garmin Coach, which grants you access to free adaptive training plans from expert coaches.
The Lily 2 Active is available to purchase in Lunar Gold, Silver, and Jasper Green for $299.99 from Garmin.

Microsoft has released a major announcement outlining all the new experiences coming to its new Copilot+ PCs and Windows 11, hoping to convince people to see the practical benefits of its AI-powered efforts. We’ll have to see how these developments play out when they’re more widespread and in the hands of everyday users, but Microsoft still seems to be going full steam ahead to make AI tools and features commonplace (and to be one of the first to do it).
Microsoft wants to use AI to assist you with everyday tasks like tracking down files and images, making them faster and easier. The idea is that you won’t even have to remember exact file and app names, but be able to describe the content in your own words and your device will be able to locate it.
Copilot+ PCs are designed to have AI integrated, and Microsoft claims that it’s seeing substantial customer demand and interest. You can get Copilot+ PCs running Windows 11 from manufacturers like Acer, Asus, Dell, HP, Lenovo, Samsung, and from Microsoft itsel;f through its Surface line, with processors from manufacturers including Qualcomm, Intel, and AMD.
Microsoft also that these new features will be made available to its Windows Insider community for user testing and feedback ahead of a general rollout in phases starting in October and November 2024.

Total Recall
(Image credit: Getty Images)
The first feature Microsoft will be previewing is Recall, which has so far seen a lot of criticism, specifically with respect to its possible security ramifications, ever since it was announced. Microsoft’s vision for Recall is to help you instantly find things you’ve already seen on your PC, like a website or file, by taking screenshots of your device activity, keeping a record, and making it searchable. It will be an opt-in feature and only accessible with Windows Hello, Microsoft’s alternative login feature that allows you to use sign in with facial recognition, your fingerprint, or a PIN.
Microsoft hopes that added security measures will make people feel confident enough to trust Recall, requiring login by Windows Hello and applying filter over sensitive information like payment details.
There are other shiny new feature like ‘Click to do,’ designed to suggest ways you can finish tasks using various features and apps. This feature will appear over images or text, suggesting possible actions for you to consider like erasing the background of a photo or finding out more information on the web. Another is super resolution in the Photos app, explained as being able to enhance lower-resolution and older photos to better quality, making them clearer and sharper.

One that’s not a new feature but instead enhancing an existing one is Windows Search, which will now use AI to fetch just the file you’re looking for after putting in a description of the file in your own words. Microsoft adds that you won’t need to be connected to the internet to use this capability, and it will become available in File Explorer first, followed by Windows Search itself and the Setting apps in the months following.
Joining an improved Windows Search, Microsoft is also giving the Paint app a boost, adding generative fill and generative erase capabilities. You’ll also be able to use the Cocreator image generation tool right in the app by describing your ideas in a prompt, maybe even adding some brush swipes, and having it create an image. Additionally, you can also remove parts or add elements to your existing images, and you’ll be able to use it without a subscription.
As Microsoft puts it, the number of these kinds apps and ‘emulated experiences’ will grow as more Copilot+ PCs hit the market this year and next.
Will Windows users embrace Microsoft’s vision?
Microsoft has released the main Windows 11 feature upgrade for this year, 24H2, and it brings AI capability to Copilot+ PCs to enable the features above when they arrive, as well as features and changes for all PCs running Windows 11. These include the new Energy Saver mode, improved Hearing Aid support, Wi-Fi 7 compatibility, HDR background support, and interface-related improvements.

Microsoft finishes off its announcement with its broader vision and what it wants you to see next. It appears to acknowledge that you might have feelings about Windows 11, but we’ll have to see what it ultimately delivers in the coming year.
Microsoft says it wants you to feel the difference as a positive new direction for Windows 11, which has definitely had its ups and downs since its release. Either way, this is a big next step, so we’ll have to see how these new features are received.
October is going to be one of the busiest months of the year on PBS because of the upcoming presidential election. There are many news specials and documentaries dedicated to the election. Thankfully, PBS isn’t wall-to-wall election coverage, and there are still new nature and science documentaries to enjoy as well.
PBS is also launching two new British dramas this month: The Marlow Murder Club and Velvet. Those kinds of shows almost always draw more attention to PBS, especially when they sidestep streaming for their American premieres. The best part is that everything on PBS is free. Public Broadcast System lives up to its name each and every month, so you enjoy it on your local PBS station or stream online through PBS’ official site.
If you missed the best shows on PBS from September, you can still stream those online. But you will have to wait for the premiere dates listed below to catch everything coming to PBS in October.
