In this research, we explore how conversational agents, specifically the Google Home Hub, can empower dyads comprised of older adults with MCI and their care partners.

Foundational math, physics, biology, and chemistry instruction all have established traditions of using sketching and drawing to solve problems. From long division to Punnett squares, from free-body diagrams to molecular structures, students create diagrams and manipulate them to problem-solve. Introductory computer science and programming classes lack such well-developed and widely-used methods, even as computer science classes grow in popularity

COSMOS (COmputational Skins for Multi-functional Objects and Systems) is an interdisciplinary collaborative project to design, manufacture, fabricate, and apply "computational skins". COSMOS consist of dense, high-performance, seamlessly-networked, ambiently-powered computational nodes in the form of 2D flexible surfaces that can process, store, and communicate sensor data. Achieving this vision will redefine the basis of human-environment interactions by creating a world in which everyday objects and information technology become inextricably entangled.
