• What is Superman's Alter Ego? Marcus In The Morning "What You Know 'Bout That?" (iheart.com) — A Newark resident named Hannah called into a Bay Area morning radio show to compete in a fast-paced trivia game and ended up winning concert tickets with a perfect score.

• What Children's Creative Writing Taught Us About Responsible AI Use (digitalpromise.org) — A children's creative writing and AI art program called Story Sprout was developed with kids at the Salvation Army Bay Area center in Newark, giving local students a structured way to create and illustrate their own stories.
