Starting Cluster 1

On the first day of COSMOS we got to know a little more about what our adventure would be like for the next four weeks.  A brief history of computing and how much it has exploded over the years, what we'll be doing in the cluster and then learning how to create our own mobile apps with App Inventor.




Our first social involved us getting to know each other and our mentors (Bella, Han, Hannah, Henry and John - all UCSD undergrads).  We created a "starter pack" to learn about our commonalities as well as made "banners" for our groups.  Below are what we collectively created.
