CAS Blog: October 2019

Since senior year has started back up, things have been pretty great. So great, that I have even decided to start my own club. This had happened even a couple of years ago, where I tried starting a computer club at school, but that plan never really followed-through.  However, this time I'm fairly confident that things will go great. Back in September there was a club fair at the school, where leaders of clubs could create poster boards and try to recruit new members. I created a poster board for a Magic: The Gathering club that I literally thought of starting that day. I picked the game up over the summer, and decided that it would be fun to bring it to the school, as, besides D&D club, I feel like there is a lack of practicing the great art of physical, tabletop gaming at school. In order to properly carry-out this club, I negotiated with potential members who signed the sign-up sheet so that I could find a schedule that didn't interfere with the schedules of the potential members, and ensure that everyone has the best possible club experience. Let's hope for a great club!

CAS Blog: March 2020

Lately, I have been negotiating with the head of the middle school campus of my school in planning a service project for National Honor Society, where I'm planning to teach the middle schoolers of the campus computer programming, which I believe really connects with the nationwide and worldwide need of more leaders in STEM fields as computing becomes larger and larger every day. Besides the implementation of the Magic: The Gathering Club at school, I haven't really done much of service for the school in a while, so I'm really excited for this upcoming project. Additionally, ever since there was a relative void left when I decided to no longer do workouts with Blake, I've been lately getting outside more and doing walks around the neighborhood, which is really nice and allows me to appreciate the nice breeze, blue sky, and the world outside of strings and screens.

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:

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.
