Session (1)

Stefania Druga brings rare hands-on depth to real-time multimodal AI and AI-education systems — her recent work on multimodal applications (live webcam/audio/sensor fusion) and Cognimates Scratch Copilot shows how she translates frontier research into working tools, making her session a practical window into where multimodal agents meet embodied science and education.
