Goodbye Video

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!

Today we presented to Cluster 9 "Music and Technology".  It was our "full dress rehearsal" of our final project presentations. Below are our presentations.  They posted for our cluster to self-critique.  Complete blog posting for the presentations including the slides and demos will follow after the formal final presentations on Saturday.

Final Week

Image
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. Today we presented our final projects to Cluster 9 and demonstrated our work.  Then we got a chance to see their final projects and what they've been working on in the "Music and Technology" cluster. We can't wait to show our family and friends all that we've learned these four weeks at COSMOS!
