Project poster

The ability to read, analyze, and question data is becoming so crucial in today’s workforce and is considered a 21st century technical skill across all industries. However, our current education systems utilize traditional curriculum methods that fail to provide students with the comprehensive skills to interact with digital information. Data Viz Kids is a free interactive and interdisciplinary curriculum for middle school teachers to educate and bring data literacy into classrooms. Through the five modules, teachers will cover a wide range of data literacy skills in order to better prepare their students for higher education and the workforce.
