Policy change making data science “the new basic” - vote here!
States and districts across the country are rethinking how we connect what kids learn in school to the skills they really need. From redesigning math pathways, to using stimulus funding to boost Career & Technical Education, data science is at the core of many of these efforts. Join this panel to discuss the models for change we’re seeing in states and districts like Virginia, Nebraska, and San Diego Unified to make data science literacy skills as fundamental as reading and writing.

Stephanie Melville, San Diego Unified School District and IES

Workshop: Bring Your Subject into the Data Age - vote here!
Heard of the hooplah for data science? We have you covered. This interactive workshop will preview lesson plans and ideas for how to integrate modern data science thinking and methods to your school subject. Whether it be math, science, social studies, or history, we will showcase examples of successful integration, and demo our approach for helping students build their data literacy and sense-making. Data science should be for everyone - teaching it across subjects is how we can get there.
Facilitators:
Emmanuel Schanzer, Bootstrap World & Brown University
Kathi Fisler, Bootstrap World & Brown University
Meet-up: Data Science for Everyone? How to Move the Needle - vote here!
The information age has already arrived - careers, daily life, and knowledge itself are being transformed by massive amounts of data. What will it take to ensure every student is prepared by graduation? What are the resources, the infrastructure, the policy, and the community we need to turn data science from a must-have to a must-teach? We wish to bring together anyone passionate about data science - teachers, policymakers, industry leaders, parents - to discuss tangible ways to move the needle
Facilitators:
Lindsey Henderson, Utah State Board of Education
Nancy Lue, Valhalla Foundation
We hope to see you in Austin next year!
