DATA SCIENCE FOR SCHOOLS – THE DATA LAB

The Data Lab aims to showcase some of the ways in which data science is changing people’s lives for the better and to help busy Secondary teachers by providing resources that will help them to learn more about data science and improve their background understanding of how to communicate to children about data science. They also provide resources that can be used in lessons, and also a wide array of videos, real life case studies and interactive activities that students can explore.
