Session Chair: Charles Hepler (MRU) Imagine empowering K-12 students with essential data science and data literacy skills. By doing so, we equip them with valuable competencies that will serve them well in post-secondary education and open doors to exciting career opportunities across diverse industries. Keeping students engaged is key. By incorporating relevant and meaningful projects that allow student choice, we can significantly enhance their learning experience and help them retain crucial knowledge and skills.
