Opportunity for America’s educators to win a VIP experience at Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex, plus new educational resources available to engage students

MERRITT ISLAND, Fla., Dec. 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Crayola, Space4All, Blue Origin’s nonprofit Club for the Future and Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex revealed a new collaboration to honor exceptional educators, increase awareness about the importance of creativity and innovation in space, and inspire students to pursue a future in space-related careers.

As part of this effort, the organizations created a national initiative – Creativity Launches the Future – for parents and community members to nominate exceptional educators for a chance to win a VIP trip to Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex. The experience is designed to grow educators’ knowledge of space and encourage them to inspire students about the benefits and possibilities of space.

In addition, new educational resources from Crayola and Space4All are now available online throughout the campaign to support and engage educators and students across the country. These hands-on activities help students envision themselves in space-related careers and learn about the amazing innovations that have come out of the space program.

“Creativity is a critical life skill that helps children reach their full potential; no matter what career they choose. This partnership highlights our shared mission to show how creativity drives space exploration and innovation,” said Cheri Sterman, senior director of education, Crayola. “Everyone learns best from hands-on experiences. So, this opportunity for teachers to have an in-person immersion on the Space Coast will expand their knowledge of and confidence in teaching space.”

“Both of my parents were middle-school teachers, and they inspired me to dream big and believe in myself,” said Space4All Ambassador and former NASA astronaut Leland Melvin. “Now, I’m excited for the chance to say thank you to all the outstanding teachers and be part of inspiring them and their students to reach for the stars, because space is for all.”

Twelve educators will be randomly selected from the nominees and announced as part of Crayola’s Creativity Week in early 2025. The winners will tour Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex and Blue Origin’s New Glenn rocket factory. They will also take home space-themed lessons for their classrooms and may have the opportunity to witness a rocket launch.

MEXC and Hacken Launch AI Trading Safety Handbook to Promote Safer AI Adoption

Published

on

By

MUTSAMUDU, Comoros, Oct. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — MEXC, a pioneer in 0-fee digital asset trading, and blockchain security, compliance, and regulatory assurance partner Hacken, have released the MEXC × Hacken AI Trading Safety Handbook, providing practical guidance on how users and platforms can use and deploy AI-assisted and automated trading tools more safely, from research and decision support through trade execution.

The handbook follows the recent MEXC AI Trading Report, which found strong interest in AI alongside clear demand for greater control. In MEXC’s 2026 survey, willingness to use automated trading rose from 55% to 71.8% when limits on funds, positions, leverage and losses were introduced.

As AI takes a more active role in trading, the handbook emphasizes that safety cannot rely on the AI model alone. AI-facilitated actions should be checked against separate permissions, financial limits and risk controls before execution. It covers risks including credential exposure, excessive permissions, manipulated data and unintended execution, while outlining practical safeguards for both users and platforms.

For users, the handbook sets out five safety checks: Ask, Verify, Limit, Control and Review. For platforms, it outlines five principles: Guard, Limit, Approve, Controls and Test. Together, they provide a practical framework for expanding the use of AI while keeping appropriate controls in place.

“AI can make trading more accessible and efficient, but greater capability should come with stronger safeguards,” said Vugar Usi Zade, CEO of MEXC. “At MEXC, we want users to benefit from innovation, while taking a measured approach to AI adoption. Our People First principle means giving users access to new capabilities without losing sight of control, transparency and risk.”

“AI agents will soon place more orders than people do. Trust in them should be earned the way smart contracts earned it: through independent controls, continuous red-teaming and evidence anyone can verify,” said Dyma Budorin, CEO and co-founder of Hacken. “This handbook is intended to raise awareness of those risks and provide practical support for both users and platforms. As adoption grows, platforms will need to test these safeguards continuously and strengthen them as new risks emerge.”

MEXC and Hacken hope the handbook can serve as a practical reference for users and platforms as AI becomes more deeply integrated into trading, helping raise risk awareness and support safer, more responsible adoption across the industry.

About MEXC

Founded in 2018, MEXC is a leading global multi-asset trading platform built as your 0-fee gateway to infinite opportunities. Serving users across 170+ markets, MEXC provides simple and efficient access to crypto, stocks, tokenized assets, derivatives, and a growing range of TradFi-linked opportunities through one account and one gateway.

Madan brings extensive experience scaling SaaS businesses, winning major enterprise accounts and building repeatable sales processes. His proven ability to translate innovative technology into sustainable revenue growth makes him an excellent addition to our leadership team.”

Throughout his career, Mr. Murthy has contributed to significant revenue growth across multiple technology organizations. His accomplishments include helping scale a business from $50 million to $225 million in revenue while increasing new-customer opportunity-to-close rates from 8% to 35% and improving customer retention to 98%. He has also helped grow an early-stage software company’s SaaS business to $25 million in recurring revenue, secured Fortune 500 customers and built and led a 30-person international sales organization spanning North America, Europe and Asia-Pacific.

In his new role, Mr. Murthy will focus on expanding Renoworks’ enterprise customer base, developing new market opportunities and accelerating adoption of renoworks.ai. He will work closely with the Company’s existing business development, marketing and customer success teams to strengthen its sales pipeline, enhance go-to-market execution and support long-term recurring revenue growth.

“I am excited to join Renoworks at such an important stage in its evolution,” said Madan Murthy, Vice President of Sales. “The combination of Renoworks’ established relationships across the building products industry, deep product expertise and its new AI-native platform creates a compelling opportunity for growth. I look forward to working with the team to expand our enterprise presence, develop new customer relationships and help bring the benefits of renoworks.ai to a broader market.”
