Music

I had been meaning to integrate music and songs with teaching and learning for a long time. And my actual start in writing/singing such songs was kind of accidental in January/February 2019, and it’s been fun creating songs for certain concepts in courses, or the general academic experience.

This has evolved into parodies of popular songs and cover versions too! :)

You can find all the songs and playlists on my YouTube channel: youtube.com/raghavsampangi

If you have suggestions or would like to collaborate on something, please get in touch! This is a lot of fun! :)

Cartoons & stick person diagrams!

I love drawing stick figure diagrams. I started drawing them to represent use cases in one of my research projects, and fell in love with the concept instantly. They help convey any message in a nice way. When I attended SOUPS 2016, I drew stick figure *messages* from (almost) every presentation during the main conference session and live tweeted them. It helped me enjoy the conference even more! I use my tablet (iPad pro now and Surface Pro 4 earlier) to draw them by hand.

You can see those sketches from SOUPS 2016 and a few others below. You can also find the SOUPS 2016 story on Storify here: https://storify.com/RaghavSampangi/soups-2016-a-stickmans-perspective
