, 1 patent disclosure, and 9 presentations at national conferences (3 oral, 6 posters; 20, 21). Students have also developed activities to engage the public, including the Exploratorium’s After Dark events (San Francisco, CA) and the Estuary and Ocean Science Center’s annual Marine Lab Open House (Tiburon, CA). These outcomes illustrate the potential for this course to advance the field and provide a broad range of opportunities to all participants. A subset of these activities is described to illustrate the scope of project designs that address the CCC
