We're thrilled that our data skills live lessons have now reached over 20,000 learners.

Data Education in Schools welcomes Dr Jasmeen Kanwal to the team as our new Project Officer.

Through an impressive mastery of cutting-edge papers in AI, a deep understanding of the history of cognitive science, and four hundred interviews with leading scientists, Brian Christian presents an in-depth account of AI and how we can engineer it to align with human values.

Or... How data skills can keep you awake! Jo Spiller, Judy Robertson and Tommy Lawson presented on the themes of teaching data skills, data ethics and artificial intelligence as part of the University of Edinburgh Learning and Teaching Conference 2022 held in June.

We know from our teacher community it can be difficult to travel for professional learning so we're changing our professional learning (PL) model and bringing our workshops to schools in the Edinburgh and South East of Scotland area (Fife, Edinburgh, West Lothian, Midlothian, East Lothian, Scottish Borders)! If you are based outside of these authorities we hope you will continue to take advantage of our resources, National Progression Award in Data Science programme, our data literacy videos and our events programme.

We’ve usually got a research project running alongside Data Education in Schools. We’re interested to find out how we can teach data literacy more effectively, and how to make our events and materials more interesting and fun.  

Can you contribute to developing better tools to help teachers find educational resources online?
