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 #6

As the final assignment for my internship, my internship supervisor asked me as well as one of my fellow interns to grade several assignments, which detailed ways that cryptocurrency/blockchain impacts the world and the potential business opportunities that arise from it (which connected to the global understanding and potential impact that I researched during the internship) created by the MBA students taking the class. This intern and I sat during a free period and looked over each of the individual assignments, and tried to determine what each student should receive. We ultimately determined that everyone knew their material well, and we didn't give a single grade below a B, as we thought that everyone worked really hard and did a good job. Maybe a little underwhelming for a final project, but nevertheless cool to grade materials, and I'm thankful for such a great internship experience that I've had over the past six months.

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.
