If we gave teens access to high-quality data science courses in high school, the connection between mathematics and real life would be obvious, and most of them would still be using those ideas years later.

.Steve Levitt in FORTUNE strips away the noise surrounding the current debate over #DataScience education and zeros in on what matters most: 'The data revolution is here and our kids are not prepared for it.'

Name a sector without #datascience today, and job—whether it’s the top of the corporate ladder or it’s an entry position—will need to be using data more intensively to make decisions on a daily basis.-Zarek Drozda✍️Lauraine Langreo #education #kidalytics edweek.org/teaching-learn…

The data revolution is growing - check out Zarek Drozda's recap of the professional learning summits for K12 educators to learn how to teach data science, held across at least 8 states this summer! medium.com/data-science-4…

“If we all work collectively, we can create opportunities for students at scale.” -Zarek Drozda, Data Science 4 Everyone (DS4E) #asugsvsummit

So excited for my first op-ed with The Hechinger Report, thank you for helping me raise up this critical CTA!!

Why are we still teaching many of our core school subjects as if our daily lives are unchanged by these tools? hechingerreport.org/opinion-the-wo… via Zarek Drozda

ChatGPT, other AIs, blockchain all run on the same fuel.

Data is the new oil, and we have a narrow chance to make it accessible for every high school graduate.

I am SO grateful to The Hechinger Report Liz Willen for the opportunity on this opinion piece.

Data science and these skills will help students no matter what career they choose or what they are interested in. Jennifer Sabourin from SAS talking about why Data and Data Science is important for schools #SXSWEDU #CSforALL Data Science 4 Everyone (DS4E)

Miss this all-women #SXSWEdu panel on #DataScience and #DataLiteracy training?

This very long Q@A line sure didn’t 😬🔥🧐

Amazing discussion with DataDotOrg's Ronda Železný-Green, PhD, Amanda Mukengeshayi of UTSA School of Data Science, Jennifer Sabourin of SAS Education Initiatives, and Samantha Leav of Data Science 4 Everyone (DS4E)!

“Many of our math educators are happy to say #DataScience belongs in math, but also say “I’m not a stats person, I’m not a data person…

We need to shift mindsets, and the teacher pipeline is in dire need of redefinition and investment” - ⁦@Steph_Does_Math⁩ at #SXSWEdu

A top quote from #SXSWEdu this year:

“If something is Google-able, that’s the wrong question in a high school math classroom. If you are worried about students cheating with Google, that is the wrong question to ask on a test.” - Lindsey Henderson ⁦Lindsey Henderson⁩

Dep Sec of Ed McKenzie Snow @ #SXSWEDU on why VA is the first state in the country to create #DataScience HS course standards:

“Every second, we create enough data to fill 50 Libraries of Congress… we need to create course choice and course access to advanced DS opportunities”

We had coast-to-heartland conversations on #DataScience and #DataLiteracy edu this week between #SXSWEDU and virtually with our many friends and partners - thank you all for a great discussion, great watch!!
