UC Cosmos is a four-week program hosted by the University of California, in which high school students reside at a UC Campus (Davis, Santa Cruz, Irvine, or San Diego) to attend a STEM class taught by UC faculty. During the 2022 summer, I went to UC Santa Cruz to study Number Theory and Discrete Math. In addition to class, I attended daily lectures to learn about ongoing research across a wide range of scientific fields.
UC Santa Cruz is a beautiful campus, with the majority of its land being forest! Below are some photos of the campus.
The Upper East Field at UC Santa Cruz, a place I would frequent in my free time.
There is a scenic jogging track on the perimeter of the field.
My math class was taught in McHenry library.
