Our team had an incredible time at the AI Deeper Learning Summit, highlighting why data literacy is essential for understanding AI in education and beyond. As AI continues to shape classrooms and careers, we're committed to equipping students with the data science skills they need for the future. #DataScience4Everyone #AIinEducation #DataLiteracy #DeeperLearning

We’ve touched down in Austin, and we're so excited for #SXSWEDU to begin! Starting tomorrow, we’ll be leading conversations on: ? How student voices are shaping curriculum ? Expanding tech talent in rural communities ? Bringing data storytelling into the humanities ? Reimagining standards for the AI era ?? Get hyped with our sizzle reel from last year! https://hubs.li/Q038Hmg70 If you’re here, let’s connect—see you at the panels! #SXSWEDU #DS4E #DataScienceEducation

Data-driven creativity is the future of education. Join me at #SXSWEDU on March 5th for “Humanities 2.0: Data Storytelling Across Curricula” to explore how data can elevate student learning in every subject! Session details: https://lnkd.in/g63YVnXE

Hi everyone! Last week I had the opportunity to participate in the first ever Data Science K-12: Research to Practice Conference as a panelist! I was able to share some of my personal experiences, both as a mentor and as a student of data science, and share this with educators, researchers and advocates from around the world! Earlier that week, I also had the opportunity to serve as a mentor for students in San Antonio, where I mentored a team comprised of middle school students and high school for a Data Science Hackathon. This meant a lot to me personally because growing up, the lack of similar events made me realize how important these hands-on experiences are for inspiring passion in young minds. So to have the chance to help in that experience for others, where they can analyze data, identify underlying problems, examine how problems manifest through statistics, and explore possible solutions, is a privilege I cherish. A big thank you to Jocelyn Foran | Alesha Jones | @Zac Opps | Jason Black, PhD, for the opportunity to serve as a mentor. I also wanted to thank Lizet Casas, MPA for extending this invitation to me. I also wanted to thank Data Science 4 Everyone | The Concord Consortium along others, for producing this conference! #DSEK12 #DataScienceEducation

Teaching math and science is often like teaching a new language. This handout will help data novices find the words to describe the patterns they're seeing in their data. Find it, along with other free data literacy scaffolds by Tuva, at https://lnkd.in/dZPAtwKF.

Conference season is in full swing! Last week, the sold-out DSE K-12 Conference brought together leaders from education, industry, and policy to advance data science learning.? In Zarek's latest Substack post, he reflects on what makes education conferences truly impactful—what works, what doesn’t, and how to make the most of your time. Check it out and let us know what YOU think makes a great conference in the comments! ?? https://lnkd.in/enx5inEv

A week ago I left the Data Science Education K-12: Research to Practice conference with a lot on my mind. Today, as the best conferences tend to do, it still has me thinking: How much more insightful and probing will students' questions become when they are empowered with data??How can a strong understanding of data-driven systems enable more meaningful engagement with AI and emerging technologies??How can data and creativity be brought together for more impactful opportunities for mutual understanding and dialogue? Some students are already living out the answers to these questions, but for now, they remain the lucky few—as Data Science 4 Everyone’s recent state of the field report (https://lnkd.in/erP9T5ZA) highlights. I'm looking forward to seeing more young people in action, demonstrating what data science can unlock.?Coming away from the conference, it's clear to me that there’s a lot of work that folks like me and the Siegel Family Endowment team need to do to ensure that data science learning opportunities are equitably distributed, and that the perspectives of students and their teachers are at the center of that work. As far as I can tell, this conference was a terrific step in that direction. Many thanks to everyone who made this special event happen! #DSEK12 #DataIsHuman
