We started off our day getting to know our host, Greyson Davis, who started out at Lenovo 12 years ago in sales and has worked his way up to being the product manager for the company’s gaming division. He told us about what it’s like to work for a big tech company headquartered in both RTP and Beijing, and what it’s been like working from home during the pandemic.
Greyson then introduced us to our area of study for the next two weeks — NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens). I’m very excited for this topic, as NFTs are something I’ve seen in the news recently and something that I have wanted to learn more about. After talking about some of the variations and applications of NFTs, we each set off to research our own topic. Mine was the differences between Ethereum and Ethereum 2.0, versions of the main type of cryptocurrency in which most NFTs are valued. Looking forward to a fun couple of weeks!
