How to teach technical concepts with cartoons

I usually take meeting notes, and the team uses them to refer to them. A few years back, I started sketching the storyline of the meeting, and people loved that.

A friend suggested I read Dan Roam's books[1], and they are outstanding. I recommend people to get inspired by expressing their ideas with sketches. It is easier for others to understand, and you learn a lot.

Seconding the author’s recommendation to check out “Understanding Comics”. [1] It’s one of the most brilliant books I’ve ever read, and should be interesting regardless of what field you’re in.

To prove OP's point, Google has these great comic books [1][2] to help newbies understand the basics of AI/ML. It makes it fun and easy to understand the concepts compared to going through some video, article or book.

That is a great site.

Many years ago, my father, a mathematician, gave me a well-worn copy of the book "Thinking With a Pencil." I still have it and, even though I have internalized much of it over time, I sometimes still refer to it when drawing storyboards for UX scenarios.

I just discovered that it has been re-published:

As a kid "Resi And Transi Banish The Mysteries Of Electronics" raised my interest to take electronics as a hobby.

What an amazing website, thank you for sharing! I love it when people put love and effort into making complicated things accessible. Some of these comics explain the concepts better than the rambling 40 minute lectures at my uni.
