Data Science

Front: Data is used to power computing, and the ability to understand and work with data is critical for all citizens. Students of all ages should form questions, collect and analyze data, and interpret and communicate what they've learned. Students should also know how their personal data is used online, and how to protect their privacy and confidentiality.

Back: Look for opportunities to build interaction with data into computing projects. During discussion, prompt students to notice and wonder about questions that can be better understood through data collection and analysis. Encourage students to look for patterns in data to make meaning from what they've found, and talk about different ways to present data with drawing or computing tools. During lessons on digital citizenship, talk about privacy and confidentiality, the commercial use of personal data, and when and how to share personal information online.
