Thank you all for making COSMOS 2018 Cluster 1 such a great experience!  It was an honor and pleasure to be your Teacher Fellow.  Here is the closing goodbye video I made to try to encapsulate the experience! Don't forget that you can see all the photos at our Cluster 1 Shutterfly page -  https://ucsdcosmos2018cluster1.shutterfly.com . Also, all of you are invited to become Thrively Student Ambassadors!  They are extremely impressed with your work and would love to have you be their ambassador!  Please contact me or Patrick (Head of Classroom Engagement, Thrively) if you are interested!  It would be a great addition to your resume!

We've been working hard on our final projects since Friday!  Lots of hard work, sweat, laughter, learning and some tears have happened in the course of making our projects come to life.

We can't wait to show our family and friends all that we've learned these four weeks at COSMOS!
