For more than three decades, the $250,000 Sikorsky Prize has been dangling over the head's of engineering students just out of their reach. To claim the prize, you just have to build a human-powered helicopter that can hover at a height of about 10 feet for a full minute while staying inside a 13-foot box. Sounds simple enough, but it's actually a very difficult achievement. NPR visits the University of Maryland to see a team of students who have their eyes on the Sikorsky Prize.
T-Mobile's family plan flips the usual wireless math by bundling premium features competitors charge extra for into one straightforward package built to last. With three or more lines, families can save over $1,000 per year versus Verizon and AT&T while locking in a five-year price guarantee on talk, text, and data, and those savings do not vanish when promos end. Save on streaming, satellite, and more benefits they leave out. The plan includes Netflix and Hulu on Us, Apple TV for just $3 a month, premium unlimited data, international coverage with up to 30GB of high-speed data in 215+ countries, and T-Satellite for texting and data on supported apps. Add fast, app-based switching that takes about 15 minutes per line and access to America's Best Network, and it is a family plan designed for less hassle and more value.

Sending it while chasing perfection has long defined Nyjah Huston's approach to skateboarding. The Nike Zoom Nyjah 4 builds on that mindset, reengineering the silhouette while maintaining the flexibility, grip, and responsiveness required for everything from halfpipes to rail grinds. A synthetic mesh upper with strategic perforations replaces the original Nyjah's construction, paired with a classic tongue for lightweight breathability. Reinforced with HART (High Abrasion Rubber Tech) outsoles, cushioned by an Air Zoom midsole, and stabilized with an integrated TPU heel, the Nyjah 4 refines the line's core design language while maximizing performance, durability, and control across any terrain.
