CAS Blog: December 2019

At this point, I'm pretty much ready for the holidays. School has been going well, and it's only the first day of December, but I really want to be on break already. Nevertheless, things have been going well. It's been a while since I've received any substantial activity, although that's because I have been really preoccupied with school and my interests are primarily sedentary, although I do intend on getting more activity like I had been doing earlier in my CAS journey. Most of my creativity at this point has been researching different computer architectures and things of the sort in order to see what project I should pursue next, but soon the ball should get rolling in terms of fully undergoing these projects.

CAS Project Blog #2

I have been working on completing slides for my internship supervisor, which will be used in a presentation given to this class of MBA candidates at Rice. The research involved in creating these slides has been really cool and interesting, and has taught me a lot more about cryptocurrency and blockchain economics. An example of one of these slides is below:

On February 20, I actually went to Rice University to attend day one of the course my internship supervisor taught to the MBA candidates. It was pretty interesting seeing all of the MBA candidates in the room, but it was also quite intimidating; me and my fellow intern were the only teens in the entire room, and presumably building, which I guess is really not surprising considering the context we were in. Although most of the information I already knew due to researching it to create the slideshow that was being displayed behind him, it was still a really cool experience attending an actual college course.

CAS Project Blog #5

On the 29 of February I attended the final cryptocurrency/blockchain economics course for my internship. Although I missed the last meeting (which turned out to be taking place in another building that I was unaware of), this didn't really impede my ability to understand the content, especially because, as I mentioned in a previous blog post, most of the information I had already researched. It was also interesting seeing the various guests and speakers who have had experience in the cryptocurrency/blockchain space, which provides a nice contrast to the more theoretical and economical information that me and my fellow interns have been receiving.
