UCSD COSMOS Cluster 1 - 2019

Thank you for being a part of Cluster 1.  It was an honor and privilege to be your Teacher Fellow and a part of your journey.  Thank you for allowing me to be your "paparazzi" in an attempt to capture your time in class and in lab.  Below is the video I made of our cluster and showed after all your presentations.  Don't forget that you can view ALL the photos taken at our cluster Shutterfly page -  https://ucsdcosmos2019cluster1.shutterfly.com . 

Below you will find the presentations, Google slides, poster board and demo of Cluster 1's final projects.  The students did an outstanding job and we are extremely proud of all the groups!!  It was a difficult challenge in selecting a "top" project.  Congratulations to Lindsey, Clarice, Wendy and Nithya as this year's Cluster 1 Gordon Leadership Award winners and to Annie as the Joe Watson Award winner!

Students have spent the week working on their final projects.  As you can imagine it's an intense time for students to get their proposed project working and adding features to it.  Our students get to see the life cycle of a project - from idea to prototype.  Most of the time students are concentrating hard and focusing on getting the task at hand completed in the limited amount of time they have.  But we have our moments of laughter, "blowing steam" and camaraderie.  Below are some examples. Being in Cluster 1 is like being in High School Musical  Final lunch at 64 Degrees dining hall.  Demo test went well... in the ladies room in case the project made a mess.  Cluster 1 motto.  Homemade cupcakes from scratch.
