Data Literacy Lab

This course is designed as an introduction to data. We will discuss what data is, how to collect it, use it, and present it. This course will allow for students to explore different number patterns, learn to create graphs, and use data to make smart decisions. Class activities include using a mock election, the Card game Uno, Legos, student captured photos, and much more to engage in data analysis and visualization. Ultimately, this course will use fun, hands-on techniques to teach data and statistics in an engaging way!
