Nintendo Collaborates With.... Build-A-Bear!?

Build-A-Bear Construction Workshop collaborated with Nintendo to create cute versions of two characters in "Animal Crossing: New Horizons", designed for the game lovers.

In addition to Tom Nook and Isabelle, the series also includes clothing and accessories inspired by the popular game Animal Crossing: New Horizons for Nintendo Switch, which was released last year during the COVID-19 pandemic. 

Before the Switch game, Animal Crossing was released in 2001. 

The series opens to the public at 10 am on Tuesday morning. CST and enthusiastic customers can enter the sales waiting room half an hour ago. Before delivery, everyone waiting was randomly assigned a seat. Although the prospect of the new version caused joy among customers who saw the "pen premiere", others were disappointed with the choice of characters. 

If you plan to buy a Build-A-Bear, then you should probably stop reading this article and get one, they will soon be sold out.

Google Disrupts Higher Education: Students Take Classes and Receive Certificates, For High Paying In-Demand Skills - For Under $300...

This morning Google announced its plan to dismantle the world of college education. This includes the introduction of a new certification program designed to help people fill gaps in qualifications in areas of high-performance, high-paying developer jobs - specifically ones with no degree required.

This new tool may change the game for the growing number of people who think the education system is broken or for the millions of Americans who are currently unemployed following the Covid19 pandemic.

Alphabet and Google CEO Sundar Pichai said in an interview that "The pandemic has led to a truly horrible year, but it has also created profound shifts along the journey to digital transformation in ways no one could have imagined."

The program includes:

• Launch of three new Google scholarships in Coursera in operations management, data analysis and user experience (UX).
  
  
• Design new content for developers of Android applications.
  
  
• Partner with more than 130 employees who work with Google to hire graduates on Google Certificates Google's new search engine makes it easy to search for a job educationally, with no qualifications or experience.

Most applicants will close within 6 months, some can even be completed in three months. The average US student will spend about $240.

You can actually find and enroll in some of these now...

Google already offers basically the same thing though online learning platform Coursera, courses that end with people receiving a certificate of completion from Google.

So it's no surprise that the Coursera CEO Jeff Maggioncalda is playing an important role in helping Google launch the new initiative.
