Session description

Learn how to introduce K-8 students to data science! By engaging in school-wide activities, creating graphs, and analyzing their results, South Fayette students are becoming "data artists" as they begin to acknowledge how data impacts their lives and the many ways they can represent data using art.

Outline

The main focal points of my poster session will be:
1. Focusing on how data science is introduced at different elementary and middle school grade levels and what that might look like with concrete examples of activities.
2. Explaining how students go from gathering data to analyzing it, with attention to how students can use data to draw specific conclusions.
3. Showing students'visual representations made using data and combining it with physical art.

We will speak with each attendee, but they will also have access to QR codes that lead to students'
projects/reflections, and some of our classroom materials (handouts).
