Abstract

This symposium aims to build upon a workshop held by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine on the Foundations of K-12 Data Science Education by offering insights into research, policy, and practice with a focus on how our youngest learners come to use and reason with data. In particular, this session will explore what is known about critical data literacy and what this looks like in the enactment of data science projects; unpack what we know about data science learning including assumptions and challenges; examine the implementation of data science programs and pathways across states; and provide an overview of the tools and resources available to support data science learning in grades K-12.
