Learn about Bitcoin, Blockchain and Cryptocurrency
2022 Special Topics ideas...
Some thoughts from last year's students...
“I loved meeting at the lecture hall each day. At first, we would gather and share our daily information with each other. Since I did not know much about cryptocurrency, I liked hearing about everyone’s findings.”
“I enjoyed the work I have done with my teammates. The internship gave me an experience that I can show to future employers.”

More Intern thoughts from 2021...
I am proud of the work that I have done at Red Sky Research. I enjoyed the work I have done with my teammates. The internship gave me an experience that I can show to future employers.
Working with other members in a team helped me experience what it is like to work with others in the workplace. I worked with others to develop concept maps that demonstrated our comprehension of both the financial and technical concepts of cryptocurrencies.
Learning about how to work with people, most of whom I didn’t know all too well, like this was the best part of the internship for me.
Each day during this senior experience, I looked forward to researching topics I was genuinely interested in. That was one of my favorite parts! I felt that each day was very productive, and I always felt successful after each meeting
