Outreach

I am interested in using different creative tools and media for communication, education and learning. This page documents my efforts towards this. This is work in progress and I will update this page with newer projects soon. If you are interested in finding more or collaborating on science outreach projects, leave your email address in the box here or send me an email and I will write back to you. You can find my email information under the Contact tab.

Science Games

Along with Prasad Sandbhor (https://www.coroflot.com/prasad_sandbhor/portfolio) I developed a game system based on mixed-species flocks using birds that participate in flocks as elements of the game. The game uses behaviours of and interactions between birds to convey the concept of mixed-species flocks.

This effort was covered on different platforms -
1. IndiaBioscience
2. The Wire
3. Forbes Magazine
4. Current Conservation

Conference publication based on this work:
Sandbhor P., and Bangal, P. 2018. Game System based on Mixed-species Bird Flocks: A Science Outreach Approach. In Proceedings of the 2018 Annual Symposium on Computer-Human Interaction in Play Companion Extended Abstracts (CHI PLAY '18 Extended Abstracts). ACM, New York, NY, USA, 595-601.

2. Popular-science Marathi writing
I wrote a popular science piece for the Marathi Magazine Vanrai. This was a part of a special issue on "Effects of the lockdown on the Environment". I'd like to thank Suhel Quader and his daughter for letting me use their experiment as an example in this article. The pretty graphs in this are made by them. Access the article here.
