Self Leadership Backbone at CDTM with BridgingpositionsWe, as Centerlings, are invariably occupied and handling countably many responsibilities at once. Studies, projects, work, and our personal life ask for our attention every day.

The mindfulness workshop, as part of the new initiatives to improve Center life,12 Dec 2019•2 min read

Hello World of Smart Contracts – The Blockchain ElectiveThere's nothing that's not a topic at the Center for Digital Technology and Management (CDTM). We have courses where students program smart drones, others where they learn to master the art of meditation and more where they build "food computers" that autonomously grow plants using robotic systems. But one topic hasn't been so much on the radar yet: Blockchain Technology. More precisely, the field of "Smart Contracts". So this semester two Centerlings decided to change that by offering the Elect27 Nov 2019•8 min read
