What began as a small, competitive summer camp for six high school students in 2022 has grown into a statewide entrepreneurship experience designed to help Alabama youth develop confidence, creativity and business skills. The Troy University IDEA Bank’s 2026 Youth Entrepreneurship Academy welcomed 22 students in grades six through 12, including students from communities across Alabama. Sponsored by the Regions Foundation as part of its support for TROY Starters, the program offered students both an exploratory entrepreneurship experience and a competitive pitch competition. “The growth of this program is really exciting because it shows us that young people across Alabama are hungry for opportunities to explore entrepreneurship and develop their ideas,” said Lynne George, director of the IDEA Bank. “We want students to leave with more than just a business idea. We want them to leave with confidence, connections and the resources they need to take that idea to the next level.” The academy began in 2022 with a grant from the Wiregrass Resource Conservation & Development Center. That first year, six high school students participated in a program focused primarily on a pitch competition. By 2026, the academy had evolved into a broader program serving middle and high school

Summer may be slowly coming to an end, but summer styles are forever! Our friends at GUNNAR have introduced two new frames that are a love letter to the season! For those not familiar with our friends at Gunnar, they specialize in making glasses that have anti-blue light tech. Screens give off blue light that’s invisible to the eyes but can cause strain and fatigue for them. Gunnar’s glasses help block this light to allow those who look at screens all day to work in comfort. Gunnar’s glasses are used by pro e-sport players, gamers, the military, and even animators at DreamWorks. We’ve seen the Oakland Frames before, but now we’re seeing them in a more vibrant color, Crystal Dusk. These stylish frames now come with the option to look reminiscent of a violet sky after the sun sets at the beach. The Intercept frames have been around for a while as well, and have been given the summer glow-up with the new Crystal Cobalt frames. This rich blue color reflects the blue skies of summer, that reminds you of how blue it looks as you sit by the pool or on the beach. Both frames are in a light

The Trace Newsletter A social media campaign challenging the idea that guns make kids more safe appears to be breaking through. Snapchat, the disappearing-message app, holds an unusual appeal for young people. Nearly half of teenagers ages 13 to 17 say they use Snapchat every day, according to a December 2025 Pew report, compared with 25 percent of adults who said they’ve ever used the platform — a decline from 2024, at that. Those stats were probably in mind when the violence prevention organization Project Unloaded launched a Snapchat messaging campaign on the dangers of guns. The organization’s Safer Not Using Guns campaign originally launched in 2022, with the goal of challenging the idea that guns make kids safer. Four years later, it seems the campaign is changing minds. An analysis conducted this past spring found that 13- to 17-year-olds — the youngest of whom, I was alarmed to realize, are members of Generation Alpha — on SnapChat who were aware of the campaign were more likely to say that guns come with a lot of risks. In her latest story, Fairriona Magee breaks down the analysis, and the larger implications for violence prevention among teens. From The Trace Snaps
