The labor market is hungry for skilled data wranglers and pays them well, but few schools offer high school data science classes as part of their STEM education. Data Science Foundations and the supplemental exploration labs along with live interactive trainings are available to Grades 8-12 and College Students from our online learning platform.
AITP introduces students to the main ideas in data science through free tools such as Google Sheets, Python and Data Commons. Students will learn to be data explorers in project-based units, through which they will develop their understanding of data analysis, sampling, correlation/causation, bias and uncertainty, probability, modeling with data, making and evaluating data-based arguments, the power of data in society, and more! At the end of the course students will have a portfolio of their data science work to showcase their newly developed abilities. The curriculum is adaptable so that teachers can bring in datasets or use what is provided to find datasets most relevant to their students.
The STEM course for Data Science training program covers a wide range of topics that are essential for building a strong foundation in this field. The course includes instruction on statistics, programming, data structures and algorithms, data cleaning and preprocessing, data visualization, machine learning, deep learning, big data, ethics, and privacy. Through the course, students will gain practical skills in data manipulation, visualization, and analysis, as well as a deeper understanding of the underlying mathematical and computational principles that make Data Science possible. With this knowledge, students will be well-prepared for a career in Data Science, one of the most in-demand fields in today's job market.
