'We have a voice': Minnesota students help craft national AI policy

jeudi 13 août 2026 • Durée 09:59

This upcoming school year, districts across the country have a new tool they can use: A national artificial intelligence policy. It was created in July by 98 teens, representing all 50 states.

They gathered in Boston for the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Day of AI, created a mock senate, and drafted and passed their own legislation that helps schools navigate artificial intelligence. Representing Minnesota were students and staff from St. Cloud.

St. Cloud Tech High School student Bihmanji Acho and Principal Molly Kensy joined Minnesota Now to share more about the experience.

Tuesday is primary election day. The polls are open across the state until 8 p.m. MPR News reporters are out talking to voters, and will share what issues are standing out as voters choose candidates to send to the November election for governor, senator and other races.

Most former residents of cleared St. Paul encampment still living outside

mardi 11 août 2026 • Durée 11:27

It’s been about a week since the city of St. Paul cleared a homeless encampment at Pig’s Eye Park near the Mississippi River. An estimated one to two hundred people were living there.

Now that it's closed, many former residents are now staying in another encampment a few miles upriver. The city has said it also plans to clear that encampment, plus one other in St. Paul, in the coming months. It hasn't set a timeline for those closures. A spokesperson said the city is doing an after-action review of the first one and considering its next steps.

Nurse practitioner Kat Donnelly is trying to stay connected with patients who have been staying in encampments in St. Paul. She joined MPR News host Nina Moini to share perspective on the situation.

New report finds Twin Cities metro will need 88,000 more public EV chargers by 2040

mardi 11 août 2026 • Durée 08:44

A new report from the Metropolitan Council has found that there is a significant gap between public electric vehicle charging supply and projected demand.

Right now, in the Twin Cities metro, there are just over 2,000 public EV charging ports. By 2040, in the next 14 years, that will need to increase to roughly 90,000 EV chargers. It’s based on an estimate of 1.2 million EVs on the road in the metro by that time.

Joining Minnesota Now is the person behind this report, Tony Fischer. He is a transportation planner with the Metropolitan Council.

Twins, Saints to play inaugural games at new 'Field of Dreams' ballpark in Iowa

mardi 11 août 2026 • Durée 09:43

You likely recognize the quote “If you build it, he will come.” It took off in the American lexicon from the 1989 Iowa baseball film, "Field of Dreams." People have been coming to that Iowa baseball diamond in the middle of a cornfield for more than 30 years now — to visit the movie site.

Now, Major League Baseball and the town of Dyersville, Iowa have built something new. It's a professional field alongside the film set. On Thursday evening the Twins and the Phillies will face off on it, and the game will stream live on Netflix. The St. Paul Saints will play at the field Tuesday evening against the Iowa Cubs.

Jacque Rahe knows the field well. She’s the executive director of the Dyersville Economic Development Corporation and has been helping manage the “Field of Dreams” site for years. She talked to MPR News host Nina Moini about the first game at the new field, and why “Field of Dreams” has resonated with fans for so long.

Minnesota Supreme Court decision keeps right to repair question on St. Paul ballot

mardi 11 août 2026 • Durée 07:32

A judge has ruled that a right to repair ballot initiative must be on the ballot for St. Paul residents. Right to repair would allow renters to take on smaller repairs if their landlord has not, and then get reimbursed.

St. Paul city council had voted to reject the ballot initiative citing concerns it may conflict with state law. That led the organization behind the initiative, Safe Homes St. Paul, to file a lawsuit.

On Monday, a Ramsey County judge ruled that the city couldn’t keep the measure from voters.

And Aug. 11 is the deadline for the city to get the measure on November’s ballot, and the court is ordering the city to do so. The city of St. Paul filed an appeal with the Minnesota Supreme Court, which denied their request.

Joining Minnesota Now host Nina Moini about what’s next is Cole Hanson, with Safe Homes St. Paul.
