First Day of COSMOS

We began to get to know each other and learn about how computers are in everyday life and how they are enriching our lives by telling us about our past and creatures around us.

Some moments from our first day in class.

We got our Cluster 1 shirts (exclusive to just us!) this morning and took our first group picture in front of the Bear.  The Bear is located just in front of our CSE building.

Just got back from lunch and on our way to lab for the first time!

Our new home away from home away from residence halls.

We began to work with AppInventor today by creating apps called "I have a dream" and "PaintPot".  It's been fun and exciting and we can't wait to do more.
