On this episode of MarketScale Mornings, zSpace Senior Director, Sales Kevin Dougherty joined Voice of B2B Daniel Litwin and B2B Media Producer Tyler Kern live in MarketScale’s Trinity Studio.

zSpace is a highly engaging augmented reality and virtual reality learning platform designed with K-12 cross-curricular lessons in mind, and zSpace trainings are designed to ensure effective and impactful implementation of its innovative resource.

As Senior Director, Sales, Dougherty helps make zSpace the industry’s leading catalyst for education, working with partners and educators to support improvement efforts.

Dougherty, Litwin and Kern discussed what makes zSpace unique in the education technology space, the potential for powerful AR an VR applications and their interactivity, particularly in STEM education, the flexible nature of these solutions, and the adaptability of zSpace solutions to all types of learners.

“It is the interaction,” Dougherty said. “I wish I had a student sitting here to speak to that, because they’re the ones who can articulate that so beautifully. It’s as if they’re touching the automobile engine or have the frog right in front of them, dissecting. From a brain standpoint, it feels real.”

More than two-thirds don’t meaningfully engage with career services—why existing resources go unused

More than two-thirds don’t meaningfully engage with career services—why existing resources go unused

More than two-thirds of college students don't use career services despite most schools already investing in job boards, resume builders, and employer networks. uConnect's platform addresses the problem not by creating new tools but by integrating existing campus resources into a centralized hub and using historical outcome data to guide each student to relevant resources.

  • 01Two-thirds of students don't meaningfully engage with existing career services at their colleges
  • 02Career services sits as an opt-in student service rather than core infrastructure, leaving most resources unused while schools pay for them anyway
  • 03uConnect uses each school's own outcome data to create personalized pathways, showing students what courses, internships, and connections led peers with similar backgrounds to successful outcomes

School districts wait until 2027 to tap DOE's $100 million energy program

School districts wait until 2027 to tap DOE's $100 million energy program

The U.S. Department of Energy's $100 million A+STEPS school energy program funds four to eight regional hubs before any district gets help. Coalition bids for hubs are due Jan. 15, 2027. Districts, eligible for up to $250,000 in early upgrades, enter through a separate process with selections expected in fall 2027.

  • 01The first deadline in DOE's $100 million school energy program, Jan. 15, 2027, belongs to the engineering firms, utilities and universities bidding to run regional hubs; districts won't be selected until fall 2027.
  • 02A single round of four to eight hubs at $2 million to $5 million each would commit roughly $8 million to $40 million, well under the $100 million ceiling, which points to multiple rounds.
  • 03For a district facing an equipment replacement this budget year, A+STEPS is a planning tool on a 2027 calendar; its value is a financeable project plan more than the $250,000 early-work cap.

From AI Governance to Guardrails with Hood College's April Boulton

From AI Governance to Guardrails with Hood College's April Boulton

Hood College built an AI task force that intentionally included skeptics alongside early adopters, producing a two-layer policy with campus guardrails and room for discipline- and unit-specific rules. The policy restricts sensitive data and student work to vetted, licensed tools, while assessment guidance varies by discipline through workshops, and Hood is not using AI detection software.

  • 01Task force co-chairs actively recruited faculty skeptics—including an ethics critic and a tech educator—to sit alongside enthusiasts; the resulting friction shaped discussions on syllabus rules and assessment.
  • 02Campus environmental scan showed over 40% faculty and staff participation, with respondents requesting clear policy plus discipline flexibility rather than either a college-wide ban or a free-for-all.
  • 03Hood’s two-layer policy limits sensitive data and student work to college-vetted, licensed tools, and professional development reinforces the approved-tools list.
