Data Science

In today’s world, data is everywhere—shaping the way we understand our communities, make decisions, and solve problems. From social media algorithms to health information, from civic engagement to climate change, data shapes the stories we hear and the choices we make. The ability to work with, interpret, and communicate data is now an essential life skill for all students, not just those pursuing STEM careers.

At youcubed, we believe data science should be a central part of K–12 education. By engaging students in meaningful, relevant data investigations, we can help them build critical thinking skills and prepare for a rapidly changing world.

We invite you to explore the data science education resources below—articles, research, classroom tasks, our online course, big ideas, and our high school data science curriculum—as we work collectively to reimagine mathematics for the data age.
